Two for One

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about the new DVD disk that has Blu Ray and regular DVD data all in one disk.

Infinity Storage Media has unveiled the first DVD Blu Ray hybrid disk.

The disk is single sided but provides both DVD and Blu Ray data (basically the disk can play in both a Blu Ray player and as a standard DVD). This is especially convenient since most of us already own DVD players and I don’t know that I’m ready to give mine up. Lets be honest some of us are waiting for Blu Ray prices to drop before we invest, but wouldn’t it be nice to build up a library in advance? More importantly it makes traveling easier since, even if you already own a Blu Ray player, Blu Ray does not yet have a portable device like DVDs nor do laptops support Blu Ray disks (but they do support DVDs).

Infinity it the first company to actually bring such an idea into production, and it certainly can’t hurt home movie popularity.
