Jason,
I did not forget about your question of specs.
The specs keep growing as they add codecs for video and audio, and also depends if you are looking
for read only or rewritable standards.
In addition, both formats get also expanded with the hybrid multilayer discs recent inventions; and
do you want the 0.9 or the 1.0 version?, before or after the approval of the DVD Forum or Blu-ray
Association?
So your question can be not be responded in one line.
However, I covered the subject in detail on the last article of the DVDetc magazine dedicated to the
Hi Def DVD industry and technology (and updated at CES). It also covers studio support and copy
protection systems.
That was the last printed issue of that magazine before it blended into HDTVetc magazine, and I
assume you can still get it on the book stores.
You can also log into
www.hdtvetc.com and subscribe for a free online/pdf service of all back issues
before that last one that still on the book stores. You can also come back to the website later
when the newer issue is out and get today's current issue as back issue for free online. They also
have a flipbook online service if you like that method of reading.
To give you an idea, from the previous issue of HDTVetc you can get something like this (from their
web site):

Due to copyrights I am not permitted to send you any material I wrote, but anyone can get it from
their web site.
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra

I wonder what people would pay to rent one of these...hmmm
Too bad there's currently no content. I guess this won't be very useful for the consumer market for
awhile.
Someone refresh my memory. Have THE OFFICIAL blu-ray and hd-dvd spec's
been finalized, now awaiting mass adoption? I'm a little fuzzy on where
we are today with that whole thing.

Is this the first such device here in the US?
It comes with "built-in Windows Media 9, H.264 MPEG-4, and several
proprietary codecs ..."
