A disc format that could hold movies in the rival HD DVD and Blu-ray
high-definition formats, as well as DVD, has been proposed by two leading
engineers at Warner.
The two high-definition formats would be written on one side of the same disc
at different depths under the system proposed by engineers Alan Bell and Lewis
Ostrover. DVD and CD content would be written on the other side of the disc,

Scientist.
The proposals could avert confusion in the industry and on the high street
over the competing formats.
Conventional Blu-ray content is stored on a disc at a depth of 0.1mm while HD
DVD content is buried deeper at 0.6mm. The Warner engineers have proposed a
Blu-ray top layer that would allow enough light through from a player to the
HD-DVD content below.
