  • OT: BD DVD vs. HD-DVD

    What a mouthfull! I’ve got a solution, and if people start adopting it, I want my name in the history books.

    BDVD – Bluray DVD
    HDVD – Highdef DVD
    these have a nice ring to the them, say “B.D.V.D.”

    or

    BVD – Blueray Video Disk
    HVD – Highdef Video Disk
    these have a better spelled out name, “Highdef Video Disk” but not quite as catchy of an abbreviation.

    Most people don’t even know what DVD stands for. I can think of two definitions.

    [Trevor Ward] “BVD – Blueray Video Disk”

    I like your ideas, just hate the format war. Check out this entry from Wikipedia for one of your names. Seems fitting…

    Yeah, I know about BVD’s – the underwear. I think it’s funny.

    [Trevor Ward] “I can think of two definitions.”

    Disgusting Video Disc?

    Damning Vortex Destroyer?

    Don’t Vorget Deinterlace?

    Digital Violin Detector?

    I could go on, but I’ll stop.
