CBHD, née CH-DVD -- the Chinese version of the now-deceased HD DVD
format -- is in production, gearing up for a fourth quarter launch.
DigiTimes cites reports from enorth.com.cn that Shanghai United Optical
Disc has laid out the first production line, although Taiwanese disc
makers (already burned by HD DVD) aren't as confident it can take on
Blu-ray, even with considerably lower royalty fees and hardware costs
for disc replicators. Coming alongside news that Chinese-built Blu-ray
players based on increasingly affordable hardware is on the way, plus a
decided lack of studio support, it's not hard to see how this one will
turn out (again.) Not to underrate China's national pride, but unless
it can gain an unexpected foothold among DVD pirates, CBHD will
probably be on the high definition scrap heap alongside HD DVD, EVD and
the rest before long. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
