HD DVD Capacity Catching Up to Blu-ray

While the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray war is still waging, HD DVD has made progress today, as one of its main drawbacks, capacity, may have been overcome. At the 40th Steering Committee Meeting, Toshiba's latest triple-layer HD DVD ROM, which expands its capacity from 17GB up to 51GB, has been approved bringing it on par with Sony's dual-layer Blu-ray Disc. The new disc supports several file systems, like ISO 9660 and Universal Disk Format (UDF) and plays in current DVD players, while production cost remains virtually the same (thx TeamXbox).
