RE: DVD-ram format war

The war is a negative. Its all about $$$$$$!!

On the bright side, I've gathered a few opinions here and there over the past few months and here's what i've found. The "war" has actually accelerated the rollout of DVD-ram. Those who have it, want to be first to market, hopefully to make their standard the default winner. In previous hardware conflicts, I believe it keep mfg's from taking the stand and pushing forward. The difference today is that knowone debates the fact that DVD-RAM is the ultimate in versitile storage. This is not the Davork (sp) keyboard or the Sony Mini Disk.

So how or why does this help C-"dog"?
The DVx is here, done,...finno.

The large CE companies cannot afford to spend the time (money is no object) to produce such a device in time for the "war".

Simple ehhh....? Let the war begin....it will be a long one, especially if Hollywood plays tricks like they did with the vanilla DVD.

IMO...Fred.
