Talk:HD DVD-RAM

The page currently implies that DVD-RAM has a capacity of 15GB per layer. The correct value for DVD-RAM is 4.7GB. Also, I see no reason for this page to be protected.
 * it was referring to HD DVD-R disks, so I fixed it. --Ray andrew 05:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hd dvd-ram.gif

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

THE FUTURE OF HD DVD-RAM ?
Just a prediction, and a moan about HD DVD-RAM, as of Early 2008, it pretty much is a dead format before it has even been officially launched, for a start its predsucssesor, DVD-RAM died out to the plus and minus formats, this weakens its future when there is HD DVD-RW and HD DVD-R planned (as there predsecssesors, DVD-R/-RW killed DVD-RAM,) also the HD DVD series of discs most probably will never be put into widespread use as HD DVD is predicted to loose against Blu-Ray Disc. So why will this pretty capable, but almost dead (already) format ever be put into widespread use. J2F Duck (talk) 22:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Sadly I agree. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 20gb optical storage that you could mount like a hard disk and just read, write, delete and copy to. Time shifting HD DVD recordings as you can do with DVD-RAM would also be great. I would be surprised if this happens now. -- Q Chris (talk) 14:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I really think that in the unlikely advent that HD DVD beat Blu-ray Disc, then this would have been the format of HD DVD I would have used. With 5GB more than HD DVD-R and HD DVD-RW, this really would have been a capable format. Sadly it reminds me of the BAC TSR.2 that was cancelled. Talking about cancelling I bet the HD DVD promotion group will soon cancel this format. (It was the only type of disc in the HD DVD series that I even liked the look of.)

What is going to happen to HD DVD-R, HD DVD-RW and HD DVD-RAM discs and drives?
What is going to happen to HD DVD-R, HD DVD-RW and HD DVD-RAM discs and drives? Can I still buy them in the year 2009?

They do not make movies to HD DVDs anymore. Will they still use HD DVDs as data discs? This is a serious question.

I would like to store my data to HD DVD-R(W)s or HD DVD-RAMs.

Please, if you do know about the future of (re)writable HD DVD, add info to the main article. Urvabara (talk) 13:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
