Nobody knows which state anything related to video is now, I guess...
Don't even think about the physical formats... 
How will you even get the HD stuff to a hard drive
- Don't know where HD-DVD goes
- Blueray standards seem to change every two weeks
- Double level encryption on Blueray prohibits any kind of transfer to
disk (or at least playing)
- DVD Transfer to disk is illegal, and you may get sued if you do that

I don't think any major player in the video business is even
considering what's best to the consumers.

This is a major minefield....
