While this will not directly effect any consumers, it’s definitely a step in the right direction for Microsoft and creators of HD DVD content. Yet just another tool in HDDVD’s toolbox that will help them overcome the competition, see Blu-Ray.
The emulator was created by Microsoft to help speed up the process of creating, testing, and bringing to market interactive elements of an HD DVD for their 360 HD add on. A single developer was able to save costs by reducing the number of test discs per month from 200 down to 50 and save more than 100 work hours per month. Of course this all translates into lower prices at the shelf.
“The authoring process for HD DVD is more complex and expensive than the process for standard DVD, and as with any new technology, it can require a lot of time and resources,” said John Harrington, CEO of NetBlender.
