I really have no idea how far this will go. The fact that Philips and Sony are together is significant. The fact that the global standard of "MPEG-2 Transport Stream" will be used along with newly developed (2001) 405nm blue-violet laser are also significant. http://www.dvdfile.com/news/web_wire/press_release/launches/blueraydisc.html TBob -- ========================================================== Look it up in the Andy Holt Virtual Library http://www.utm.edu/vlibrary/vlhome.shtml ========================================================== Robert D.
