  Toshiba-NEC HD-DVD Proposal Killed By The DVD Forum





Warren's Consumer Electronics Daily reported today (Friday, June 13, 2002) that the DVD Forum killed the Toshiba-NEC proposal on HD-DVD. The Toshiba-NEC proposal for next-generation HD-DVD has been crushed by a vote of the DVD Forum, leaving the field wide open for the rival Blu-ray Disc format. The Blu-ray Disc format had not been submitted to the DVD Forum for consideration and isn't likely to be. Sources familiar with developments confirmed late Thursday that the Advanced Optical Disc (AOD) proposal from Toshiba and NEC was roundly defeated in a vote of the Forum's steering committee earlier in the day. To be adopted as a DVD Forum standard, AOD needed 13 votes but got only six, with nine members abstaining and three voting no. Those voting to reject AOD were Matsushita, Sony, and presumably Philips, all members of the Blu-ray Disc Founders (BDF) group that have developed a blue-laser format outside of the DVD Forum. BDF also includes Hitachi, JVC, LG, Samsung, Pioneer, Thomson and, most recently, Mitsubishi. Besides Toshiba and NEC, among six voting to adopt AOD was Warner Bros. There have been recent signs that Warner Bros. supported the AOD format as part of a unified proposal to incorporate its red-laser-based HD/DVD-9 platform with blue-laser-based AOD. The DVD Forum, Toshiba, NEC and other parties had no immediate comment. Nor was it known whether Toshiba and NEC would resubmit the AOD proposal to the DVD Forum, or join BDF in further development of that format. Toshiba in the past has said it had work-in-progress on a technology that paralleled that of BDF. Aside from similar technical specs and performance, the primary argument for AOD had been the ability to leverage existing DVD-making infrastructure and thereby continue to exploit investments already made in DVD disc manufacturing. Both systems use blue lasers, but AOD proposes using a disc structure identical to that of current DVDs--a good reason for replicators such as Warner Bros. to back the system. Blu-ray is based on a disc with a different substrate structure that will require new manufacturing processes, at a cost that's yet to be revealed, although a spokesman for Philips has said it wasn't a significant variable.
