So how did BluRay beat HDDVD and other standards?
I remember there was a Laserdisk standard and they made Episode 4, 5, 6 for Laserdisk that was the original cinema version before Lucas changed things to make it more family friendly, like Greedo shot first instead of Han Solo, etc. The VHS version got edited and so did the DVD versions. Laserdisk was so old it had the original released to cinemas but not the edits because they abandoned the Laserdisk format for DVD and VideoCD later on.
- marcosdumay 9y ago> So how did BluRay beat HDDVD and other standards? BluRay won mostly nothing. But to the extent that it did win, it was mostly because it was cheaper, more reliable, and iterated faster than HDDVD. When HDDVD disappeared people were still having problems producing the higher density disks. BluRay started as a low density format, and quickly evolved until it had more capacity than HDDVD had even even planned.
