Summary
HD DVD allows users to enjoy video, concerts and other packaged content
by taking advantage of its large amount of storage space and high-quality
audio and video. HD DVD also allows for the storage of long video when
combined with the latest video compression technologies.
The storage capacity and data transfer rate of HD DVD is superior to
standard DVD, with two types of playback-only discs in single-sided single-
layer 15GB and single-sided dual-layer 30GB (Gigabyte) formats.
