The new high definition dvds are suposed to hold about 3 times more data than todays DVDs (about 15GB in a single layer), they will also allow high definition video resolutions up to 1048 lines (normal DVDs can only hold up to 480).
What do you expect from this DVDs? For the first period of their entrance in the market their prices will be high as usuall, same will apply to the players that will read them, ofcourse you already guessed that the current DVD player dont support HD-DVDs, so you will have to buy another player (big news :|).
Also the DivX/Xvid Codec compression will have to improve for 1920x1048 resolutions unless they want people to download 1GB per anime episode lol, or maybe it will require a whole new concept of compression.
Let me hear your opinions, expectations about this :)
