HD-Burn compatibility

[james636]

Does anyone know if the phillip 642 divx player supports HD-Burn discs. Is there a firmware hack that is needed?

Anyone?

...I wouldn't hold my breath.... Possibly if you swapped the drive in your player for a Sanyo HD compatible reader...

No one supports this format. In fact, I'm not sure if you can still buy burners that can do it. Sony proposed a very similar sounding format at about the same time and it never took off. If you need more capacity than 80 minute CD-Rs, your realistic choices are:
90 minute CD-Rs (most burners can burn them and most devices can read them)
99 minute CD-Rs (most burners CANNOT burn them and many devices may not read them)
DVD
Please note that 90 and 99 minute CD-Rs violate CD standards and some devices may refuse to read such discs, but most devices can read the 90 minute discs without problems.
Just FYI, Plextor supported a way to burn extra data to CDs by writing to only parts of the pits on the disc, but those who tested this format said that using non-Plextor drives to read such discs were hit and miss, with a lot of misses.

I don't get the point of this extended CD-R format

1. It requires firmware mod to the DVD player so you can't distribute or share it.
2. DVDR media is now almost as cheap as CDR and has 3x+ the capacity of these extended CDRs.

Am I missing some application for these?

I really doubt there's a firmware upgrade to support this for any DVD player. I may be wrong tho.

you can't distribute or share it.

Who's talking about distributing?

edDV...no...you're not missing anything

besides, that article is from September 2002. As you can tell by everyones lack of knowledge , it was a very popular format.

Only Sanyo(Optorite,etc) drives support HD-BURN,I have one and don't use the feature anymore because no other player/drive supports it.When DVD media was >$2.00US apiece HD-BURN was a great idea,1.4GB on one CD,but now that DVD media is almost the same price as a CD.....why bother.
