I know that there were announcements of an HD-DVD where the red laser of an
SD-DVD went to one layer, and the blue laser of an HD-DVD went to another,
but I would think that the CE industry has more incentive to release HD-DVDs
that are not backwards compatible, to provide incentive for people to run
out and buy a new HD-DVD player. Why waste bits storing two versions of a
movie that could be better used in maximizing the HD quality. Is should be
a given that HD-DVDs will play current SD-DVDs and upconvert if necessary,
so one's existing library is not obsoleted.
The entertainment industry already release movies on DVD and VHS, so I don't
see a problem releasing a DVD and an HD-DVD version of a new movie.
