Japan says no to Blu-ray, HD DVD recorders for U.S.

Posted Wednesday, October 4th, 2006 at 04:02 by MegaZone. Filed under Blu-ray/HD DVD

Blu-ray manufacturers and supporters of HD DVD high-definition DVD technology don’t see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but there is one thing that they agree on: They don’t want to sell high-definition recorders in the United States.

That’s kind of a bummer. Looks like we won’t get standalone recorders for a while longer. Though I liked this: “In the U.S.A., you record on TiVo,” he added. ;-)

Hitachi concocting Blu-ray camcorder

Posted Wednesday, October 4th, 2006 at 03:58 by MegaZone. Filed under Blu-ray/HD DVD

Hitachi will try to come out with a video camera with a built-in Blu-ray burner in one to two years, Hiroto Yamauchi, general manager of storage products marketing at Hitachi, told News.com during an interview at Ceatec, a large Japanese trade show taking place here this week.

This would be nice, Hi-Def camcorders are catching on. And good for Blu-ray - it builds the ecosystem.
