More news
from Digitimes today as the website reports that Ritek and CMC are
preparing to begin the production of HD-DVD discs. The production lines of
CMC should be up and running in the fourth quarter of 2005, Ritek is
planning to start the production around the first or second quarter of
2006.
 Since
blue-laser HD-DVD is compatible with the current DVD technological
specifications, existing DVD production lines with addition of some
advanced equipment can be used to manufacture HD-DVD discs, Ritek pointed
out. Trial production of HD-DVD discs has been finished at its test lab
and volume production will be started next quarter at the earliest, Ritek
indicated.
