After LG, which announced the first hybrid DVD format player was sure to have others following its lead. Now, Warner has announced a hybrid format disc hi-def disc that
can be played both in HD DVD and Blu-ray players.
Warner’s “Total Hi Def” disc (”THD”) is yet another proprietary format; however, it does combine HD DVD and Blu-ray on one disc. According to Warner Home Video, it does not compromise any Hi-Def features of either HD DVD or Blu-ray. The physical structure of the disc is 1.2 mm the same as DVDs, HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. The Total Hi Def disc has the ability to contain both single layer and dual layers for both formats enabling either 15 GB or 30 GB on the HD DVD side and 25 GB or 50 GB on the Blu-ray side.

This does not mean the HD DVD Blu-Ray war is over they are still making tall claims and still at it with fervor.  But, there’s a lot at stake for many companies given today’s size of the home video market of nearly $25 billion per year.
