They demonstrated this using Finding Nemo, I believe. It looked okay, but is it vaporware? _________________

That, and according to the FAQ page, its the mandatory standard on HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs as well.

I encoded an mp4 video a year before Apple made this STUNNING innovation. What fags. Mmmmm Blu-Ray. Too bad idiot America will probably want HD-DVDs because they'll assume it's the same thing as DVDs and some cunt Chinese company probably already has SD-DVD/HD-DVD players on the market. Blu-Ray destroys HD-DVD in my opinion. I just hope it hits it big in America. _________________
