DVD Forum Seminar 2006, HD DVD Highlights

July 6, 2006

HD DVD was obviously a notable topic at yesterdays ‘2006 DVD forum seminar’ in Tokyo, as the meeting shed a little more light on Toshiba’s planned implementation of the Image Constraint Token (ICT).
It would appear as if our legacy component video outputs are HD safe until 2010, thereafter all component video outputs from HD DVD [...]
