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....
