High-Definition Versatile Disc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chinese standard, developed by AMLogic Inc., for high-definition video encoded at 720p in MPEG-2 MP@HL and audio encoded in Dolby Digital/DTS, utilizing standard DVD discs. This format is also referred to as HVD (but has no relation to the Holographic Versatile Disc format). There are only a few DVD players which support this format, and there are a very limited number of titles available. Also there is no computer-software commercially available for consumers to use to play back or to create this format on their own.
