Some guy named Danny over at eHomeUpgrade wonders why more studios haven’t released titles in the WMVHD format. This made me wonder: why haven’t more studios released titles in the WMVHD format?

Harr harr.

But Danny really does have a good point. WMVHD uses the VC1 codec (to be used by both HD-DVD and Blu-ray) to store HD content onto normal (red laser-based) DVDs. Cool, huh? Because the VC1 codec is so efficient, it’s easy enough to do. And that way we don’t need to wait for the results of the HD-DVD / Blu-ray format war before we get our movies in HD! You know, though: this is something that consumers would like and appreciate. So it’s doubtfull that Hollywood will be on it anytime soon.
