Studio bridges next-gen DVD divide

Really? No: "Both camps say they will provide a "hybrid disc," with a high-
definition disc on one side and a traditional DVD on the other,
so that consumers can play movies on their old DVD players."

HD-DVD will provide "hybrid discs", not Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray has
said that the format can support, with the larger capacity, SD
and HD on the same side but the thickness used is incompatible
with its use in DVD players.

Given the MS fanboy position of many on this site it is hardly
surprising that this kind of misinformation is spread here (a sign
of the quality of the MSCEs), but a few of us live in hope that one
day someone will actually research something before writing a
ZDNet article.
