Description: If you thought HD-DVD lost the HD disc format war to Blu-ray, you're right. But spare a thought for the third-placed format. One that could only dream of achieving HD-DVD's level of success. This is the story of HD-VMD, the other disc. 00:00 Utter nonsense 01:58 Moving on 03:20 HD-DVD vs Blu-ray 05:51 Who were NME? 07:03 VMD acquisition 11:05 The VMD USP 13:37 Launch problems 18:02 Downfall 19:55 THE PLAYERS 28:59 Lazy Town to the rescue 32:47 Lost? 34:02 The only way to win was not to play 34:48 Patreon credits Here’s a link to the video from the chap with the Saw HD-VMD (amongst others) youtu.be/us-ioTyXyzU ‘Pub’ ambience sound from zapsplat.com Note: Any physical resemblance of the characters in the pub skit to Rick Lagina and/or Henry Cole is purely co-incidental. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND ISSUES. It's a dull story regarding neighbours with power tools. However after a lot of messing with the audio, trust me it now sounds many times better than it did originally. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) Patrons patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
