HD DVD video discs are high-density, high-capacity discs.

7The HD DVD disc standard has been approved by the DVD forum.

7HD DVD (single layer): 15 GB

HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has capacity of about 8 hours in 1125 line high definition picture; about 48 hours in 525 line standard definition picture (depending on bitrate of pre- recorded contents).

*1GB means 1,000,000,000 bytes.

7HD DVD Twin Format Discs have both HD DVD and DVD layers on one side. HD DVD Combination DVD Discs have HD DVD material on one side and standard DVD material on the other side. Because both disc types are new, such discs may not operate properly in this player.
