Another DVD upgrade?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I enjoy creating and buring DVD's. In another year (or two) I plan on
getting a hd camcorder. My understanding is that the only real way to see
the hd videos is to hook up the camera to the hdtv. I googled the hd-DVD
but did not find any info as to when they might be expected. Anyone have
info on the expected timeframe?
Thanks

I like the idea of the Blur Ray Disc, but I think it will get lost in the
mix like all other Sony-made specialty items. First, Sony always has way
overpriced items which will lose some. Then it's the general public's
apprehension toward change. When they see an item that says Blue Ray Disc
and another that says HD-DVD, they will think the BR is the cheap knock-off
and that HD-DVD is the official and better one to get. Simply because of
the letters DVD. Once says DVD the other says something different, people
go for what they know. Sony will have the advantage and may finally win one
this time if most studios are on their side as far as delivering the content
and forgetting about HD-DVD. I, like most people prefer the BR. Why stick
close to the past when you can go truly into the future?
