HD-DVD - Twin Format Disc
Nothing more than a disc behind a glass case, Toshiba did at least have a disc that was labeled as hybrid DVD/HD-DVD media. The single sided dual layer disc has one 5GB DVD layer and one 15GB HD-DVD layer.
At the far left there's also a triple layer disc with a 45GB stated capacity, but once again, these may be no more than non-functioning samples.

From page 8:Actually, that only exist if at least 1 dimension of display content dimensions isn't integer divisor of display's native resolution. Secondly, DLP can overcome this by shining at only the biggest subset of mirror in the DMDs that do not cause distortions, then use adjustable sets of lenses to perform zooming, with each set zooming at only 1 axis.

Please do a review of this thing when it becomes available. I'd love to see how its output compares to Blu-ray and HD-DVD. I'm sure it's not as good... but just how much worse is what I'd like to know.highlandsun - Thursday, January 12, 2006 - link
Samsung has pretty good scaling technology, but it seems to me this is something you only need in your display. (And Samsung TVs do pretty good upconversion already.) So, kind of silly.VooDooAddict - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link
Raptor X.I feel so guilty. I'm drooling over a hard drive that costs more then a 7800GT.
I've wanted a windowed Hard drive for ages though... but don't have the dremmel skills nessesary to add a window to an existing drive.

Nobody has the dremel skills. Drives are assembled in clean rooms. Beaking the seal will be the end of a drive.Clauzii - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link

I've noticed lately that article text seems to disappear a few seconds after page load, frequently when one of the sidebar ads appears. Can't be retrieved except by highlighting it, moving the page back and forth (so it redraws), etc. Happened on a number of articles over the past week or so...
