The battle between HD DVD and Blu Ray is starting to hot up with the HD DVD camp claiming protections used by Blu ray technology can cause major playback concerns
"HD DVD supporters last week alleged Blu-ray Disc's chosen copy-protection scheme could introduce "playability and reliability issues for consumers".
They also slammed movie studio Twentieth Century Fox's claim that Blu-ray Disc is the most secure of the two next-generation optical disc formats as "surprising and misleading".
The comment follows Fox's announcement that its Fox Home Entertainment subsidiary will release content on BD. Fox joined the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) last October, but only now has its home video wing formally committed itself to the format."
Now we believe that these issues could well be ironed out before Blu Rays release but it is certainly something to keep an eye on in the near future. Are these fears legitiment or are the HD DVD camp trying to scare potential Blu Ray customers into using their format?
