"January 19, 2007 - The LG BH100 Super Multi Blue player drew crowds at CES last week when it premiered as the first combo player capable of handling HD-DVD, Blu-ray, and all legacy formats. The $1,199 drive seemed like a pretty solid solution for home theater buffs that are eager to get a piece of next-gen DVD but don't want to be caught on the losing side of the format war. Immediately after CES, however, the DVD Forum put out the word that the hardware had no support for HDi and as such could not claim HD-DVD compatibility. Speculation of cancellation immediately swirled.
Today, however, LG officially announced that the BH100 is real and will soon be in consumers' hands. And by soon we mean February 4, only a matter of weeks away. As a matter of fact, a somewhat over zealous / clueless CompUSA in Dallas already has the units on shelves for lucky blue-laser loving Texans. No word on whether the HDi issue has been resolved, though if it hasn't, LG is charging head on into a lawsuit with the HD-DVD controlling committee. "

"Betanews reports that the DVD Forum (governing body of the HD-DVD standard) has stated that it will not approve the LG player as the hardware currently stands. The issue boils down to the hardware's lack of support for HDi, the technology responsible for driving the interactive content and menu systems on HD-DVD. Without HDi support, the BH100 will only be able to play the HD-DVD movie features without menus, extra content, or the ability to fast forward and rewind. "

LG zegt zelf in een persbericht (http://us.lge.com/aboutus/pressdetail/detail/press_TV%7CAudio%7CVideo_311.jhtml) o.a. het volgende:
"In addition to offering Full HD 1080p picture quality from high-definition discs, the player incorporates interactive functions based on BD-Java, which allows advanced menus and functions to be displayed over the video of Blu-ray discs. And, while the same level of advanced menu interactivity is not available while playing HD DVD discs, the powerful combination of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD audio-video playback technologies is like no other on the market. "
LG heeft wel lef moet ik zeggen om dit ook echt als eerste op de markt te zetten. Maar een speler die alleen HD DVD's in chronologische volgorde kan afspelen en waarbij extra's etc. niet zijn te benaderen is toch wel redelijk waardeloos.... :cry:
