Default Blu-Ray Support
Reading through a post requesting that slysoft should supprt Blu-Ray I wasnt very clear what the answer from the company was. The posts from the Moderator leed me to beleive that Bue-Ray is out of the picture for them for now at least. Does anyone know a definitive answer to this question? My opinion is that support for blu-ray should be a priority for slysoft. I own both however it seems from both retail as well as online sales that blu-ray is going to be the winner. Despite the fact that it is early, the product placement(of the players sampling about 30 stores in the northeast) at the big retail stores by itself already says a lot!! HD-DVD has been pushed aside by the big guys at least for now.

Default HD-DVD much better than BluRay!
But the mastering quality in HD-DVD Discs is much better up to now, than in BluRay, and HD-DVD is much cheaper. So pray to God that BluRay doesn't win. Support HD-DVD!

Despite the fact that some of the initial blu-ray releases were indeed flawed that is not the case any more. I am not supporting any one of the two even though in the long run I do think that BR does have an edge. I do not agree with the Sony hating crowd because although I don’t love sony it does surprise me that nobody seems to mind that Microsoft´s support is one of the main reasons HD DVD has a fighting chance. Both companies have employed their share of questionable business tactics.

I hope you didn't get that impression from me. I believe the Slysoft devs will take a look at Blu-Ray, but nothing concrete is planned.

A tragic mistake indeed not to give BluRay the focus it deserves.

It is likely to be the winner in the format war, for good or bad. Sales are clearly ahead and the format is pushing how it has the majroity of content from the studios.

We need region free from bluray discs - there is far more demand for bluray than HD-DVD because of this as HD-DVD doesnt use region coding

Are the devs afraid of BD+

With AnyDVD HD gaining popularity, this will change.

Then, why are you buying an even *more* restrictive format? Isn't HD DVD bad enough?

Tom Xiang, Marketing Director: "When we considered Blu-Ray, our strategy
was simply to initially support HD-DVD and await further developments
in the marketplace. Already during the beta phase we got many
inquiries about Blu-Ray so we decided to go ahead and also provide
support for this as soon as possible. Blu-Ray employs the same
AACS process as HD-DVD. An implementation was really just a matter
of form. A beta version is planned for availability this quarter."
So to answer everyones question regarding blu-ray. Based on Tom's response, blu-ray will be supported further down the road.

Peer will have to do this alone. I'll pass.

You assume James that it is a consumers market. It is not. Its about content and supply. Bluray has the major share of all the studios on their side.

It would be a regreatble business strategy to only support one of the two new formats, and especially the one which is not leading the sales.

Perhaps slysoft could consider just a simple region free bluray product, then tackle the harder BD+ down the road. There is major demand for region free bluray now.

Someone is going to start selling such a product inevitably and slysoft is uniqely positioned with brand identification and reputation to win the market quickly. That is, unless slysoft is getting kickbacks from bluray not to do so
