LG has launched what it claims is the first Blu-ray burner to support
playback of disks using the rival HD-DVD format.
The GGW-H10N drive can record up to 50Gb of data on to a dual-layer BD—R or
rewritable BD-RE Blu-ray disk. It has a 4x write speed, which means it can burn
a 25Gb layer in under 25 minutes, the company says.
The drive, which can can also read and write CDs and DVDs, will be available
later this month.
LG also launched a standalone player, the Super Multi Blue, supporting the
rival formats with full 1080p playback. It also supports BD Java, allowing
advanced Blu-ray interactivity, though it lacks full support for similar
functions in HD-DVD - LG claims it own proprietary menu system partly makes up
for tjhis.
The PC drive will cost around £700-800 and the standalone drive around
£1000.
