Memorex has begun distributing HD DVDs
After the Blu-ray discs, Memorex also started selling HD DVDs.
Memorex began shipping the first HD DVD-Rs in the United States yesterday, but sales of rewritable discs will only begin in October, while rival-standard Blu-ray media will be available from June.
An HD DVD-R can hold 75 minutes of HD and 5 hours of DVD quality video
BD-RE can be written up to 2x, priced at $ 29,99
Writable media, ie BD-R and HD DVD-R, are currently available at the same price of $ 19,99, or about $ 4100, but the very high price will decrease significantly with the spread of formats and the appearance of competing manufacturers' products.
