Fujifilm to Produce Blu-Ray, HD DVD Discs

Fujifilm announced that it would market own-branded Blu-ray discs and expected them to be commercially available by June and also indicated that it would supply HD DVD discs, possibly, recordable and rewritable, which are expected to be available later during the year. No actual product details or approximate pricing have been announced by the company.
Fujifilm, along with Verbatim and some Taiwan-based recordable media producers, are among the companies that support both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats, which compete with each other. Companies like TDK or Panasonic, who are the main Blu-ray pushers, will naturally produce only Blu-ray discs.
Traditional single-layer DVDs allow consumers to watch movies in 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL) resolution with Dolby Digital audio. The blue-laser discs will provide consumers 1920x1080 resolution as well as DTS or Dolby Digital Plus audio along with some additional interactive features. Link
