High-definition home movies can also be burned onto DVD's using DivX, available as a free download at "They have begun to build a significant presence among PC users," P.
He also noted that consumers with high-performance personal computers could record high-definition television broadcasts in DivX 6, then burn the broadcasts onto blank DVD's. Meanwhile, he said, DivX is "concentrating on all the other content in the universe," notably independent movies.

"Very frankly," he conceded, "the studios are tough to crack on the high-definition front.

While DivXNetworks says that more than 160 million people worldwide have downloaded and used its video-compression software since the company was founded in 2000, the lack of studio support is a major handicap. It has also received an investment from Samsung.īut, he added, he has no illusions. Greenhall said his company was pursuing an aggressive DivX certification program to help more DivX-capable players get to market this year. While DivX can compress video to a greater degree - hence its use of conventional DVD's - it makes compromises in picture quality, its rivals say. In all these approaches, a significant factor is the way the video file is compressed to make it fit on a disc. With DivX you don't need lots of storage to get quality."īlu-ray and HD DVD partisans would disagree. "Blue laser means lots of storage high definition means good quality. "The essence is that DivX makes you realize that high definition and blue laser are not linked at the hip," he said.
Greenhall of DivXNetworks, much of the debate between Blu-ray and HD DVD misses the immediate point.
"Why not do the very best we can do as far as today's technology?"īackers of HD DVD say making discs in their format will be much less difficult and expensive than Blu-ray DVD's, which are supported by Sony, Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, Panasonic, LG Electronics, Sharp, Mitsubishi, Dell, Walt Disney Pictures and Television, 20th Century Fox and others.įor Mr. "It would be, I think, foolish to limit ourselves in terms of capacity unnecessarily," Mr. Both formats use blue lasers rather than the regular red one. A Blu-ray DVD can store up to 25 gigabytes on a single layer and 50 gigabytes on a dual-layer disc. HD DVD, backed primarily by Toshiba, NEC and a number of studios - including Paramount Home Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema - is capable of storing 15 gigabytes of data on a single-layer disc. Parsons said next-generation DVD's must offer much more storage than today's five to nine gigabytes.

"There's one for the movie and there is usually one for the bonus features." "If you look at most of the 'A' titles coming out now - 'Spider-Man 2,' these sorts of things - they're two discs," Mr. Nonetheless, as television picture quality evolves with high definition, many consumer electronics makers expect substantial demand for DVD's and players that can use that quality to advantage.Ĭonsider, for example, the consumer who just spent thousands of dollars for the latest big-screen high-definition television, only to find that a Bon Jovi concert on a high-definition cable television service looks vastly better than a standard DVD of Zhang Yimou's color-drenched "Hero."īesides, said Andy Parsons, senior vice president for advanced technology at Pioneer Electronics, a major backer of Blu-ray technology, consumers are already outgrowing traditional DVD's, which were first introduced in 1996. According to industry analysts, most consumers indicate that they are satisfied with the picture and audio quality of standard DVD's, and they are growing accustomed to finding the players an inexpensive commodity, priced as low as $40. That means those buying DivX players, for now at least, will lack prerecorded high-definition discs - like major Hollywood movies - to play in them.Īll the talk of high-definition DVD's, no matter which approach ultimately prevails, may seem premature in a marketplace saturated with standard-definition DVD's. Greenhall said, he wants high-definition DivX to be to video what the MP3 audio format was to music: a "grass-roots movement that breaks above ground." But if you're thinking about joining the movement, there is a major vulnerability: no major studio is marching along. (Toshiba, in contrast, recently announced an HD DVD player to be brought market late this year for about $1,000.) Greenhall and his DivX team, based in San Diego, said the company hopes to see DivX high-definition players for as little as $100 by late fall. The first DivX-capable DVD player is the $250 Avel LinkPlayer 2 by I-O Data.
