But it’s the hybrid that’s become the talk of Hollywood. The double-sided, double-layer ROM disc, which can store 8.5 GB of standard DVD content on one side and 30 GB of HD content on the other, was immediately endorsed by three of the six major studios, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video and Paramount Home Entertainment.

The new hybrid is scheduled to be unveiled May 11 at Media-Tech Expo 2005 in Las Vegas, the leading annual trade show for the optical disc manufacturing industry.

Attendees of the trade show also will get a first look at Toshiba’s new triple-layer HD DVD-ROM, which boasts a data capacity of 45 GB, 50 percent more than the 30-GB dual-layer HD-DVD-ROM disc already announced and nearly as much as the 50-GB Blu-ray Disc.

That’s enough for 12 hours of HD programming. “As a content holder, if we need it it’s there,” Kornblau said.

“We’re ready to explore a whole bunch of new creative possibilities, because 45 GB is a lot of space,” Knox added.
