Blu-ray DVD Combo Disc Unveiled

Posted on Dec 19, 08 09:29 AM PDT

Infinity from Japan has introduced the first production video title in the world that features both Blu-ray and DVD on a single layer. A boxed set of the TV series Code Blue will see playable versions of both formats, courtesy of a permeable layer that uses different wavelengths to store data at various levels. In this case, Blu-ray's blue laser will be able to recognize one layer, while a DVD player's red laser will see the other. Infinity has also noted that discs containing a couple of Blu-ray layers and a solitary DVD layer are also possible, which opens up the door to even more possibilities in the future. These discs are known as Blu-ray/DVD hybrid discs and will ship on February 18 next year for approximately $408 for the entire 11-episode box set. Do you think this hybrid disc will catch on?
