thinksecret.com — When Apple joined the Blu-ray Disc Association in March 2005, the move was seen as a coup for Blu-ray and blow to the competing HD-DVD format, but documents recently obtained by Think Secret indicate that Apple may in fact be planning to support both formats equally.

ThinkSecret hasn't had an accurate rumour in a very long time

I guess you don't see the irony in commenting on news that you don't find newsworthy.

Duh?When I'm exporting in Final Cut Pro, I have export options for HD DVD already. Isn't this the same thing essentially? Granted you can't burn them on the drive, but if you're looking for "support" , this is the key support that the "people" in the article refers to, are going to want.

That's what I would do. Think about it, the people who support both are going to be the ones who make money. Why buy something that supports only blu-ray if you can buy something that supports both? This should work for them if they keep prices reasonable.

Yes, both BluRay players and HD DVD players can play all DVD and CD formats. Personally, I will not buy a new laptop until there is an OSX compatible external dual layer BluRay burner for a reasonable price available (I need the extra drive bay for dual hard drives).

why the hell not? Might as well support everything!!! right? If you pick and choose a side, if you pick the wrong side, then everyone will crap on you for picking the loser when you didn't even know at the time that blue ray or hd dvd was the loser or winner. Might as well do both and cover you apple.
