Blu-ray Disc BD-ROM Specification Adds Microsoft's VC-1 Advanced Video Codec | |
|
||
| Time: 13:21 EST/18:21 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
The Blu-ray Disc Association and Microsoft Corp. have agreed to include the VC-1 advanced compression video codec, the proposed SMPTE standard based on Windows Media® Video 9, as a mandatory codec in Blu-ray Disc’s BD-ROM specification for video playback equipment. "We’ve been committed to adding advanced codecs to enrich the Blu-ray Disc format," said Blu-ray Disc spokesperson Maureen Weber, general manager of HP’s Optical Storage Solutions Business. "We want to offer content providers a variety of compression codecs to suit their various needs. With the addition of Microsoft’s VC-1, we extend that option in a package that makes Blu-ray Disc’s capacity advantage even more substantial while still delivering the picture quality that consumers demand from high-definition technology." | ||
