Recently we heard that Warner is looking into doing a triple-layer DVD / BD / HD DVD disc. Now a company in Amsterdam has a new process for creating cheap multiple layer discs. Together, this could provide us consumer with a single disc that contains BD, DVD, and HD DVD layers.

Could this end the format war?

Personally, I don’t think so. Studios don’t want to create multi-format discs ad nauseum. More than anything, I think, they want one format to release their discs on. That’s also why I don’t think multi-format players will do anything to end the format war.

Personally, I think that the format war is only going to end when one side, be it Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD, completely stomps the other side and a victor emerges.

Once we have a winner, there won’t be any more format war.

What do ya think?

New technology could nip DVD format war in the bud
