[edit] Images and overlap

  1. Can we have somekind of image on top of the infobox because many of the stuff listed (i.e. Blu-ray, cd) got their own logo that we can feature on the infobox instead?
  2. Some topics overlaps with {{Audio format}}. Should we merge the two together?

[edit] Reducing content

Its my opinion that this template is becoming too cluttered with every addition of recordable DVD. I would like to propose that current content be reduced to simply "DVD" and that more knowledgeable editors create a new template exclusively for all variants of the DVD format.--Kenn Caesius 20:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

It is indeed very cluttered, and so wide that it makes the real content of articles hard to read on smaller screen resolutions (or when your browser window doesn't occupy the whole screen). An alternative is to convert it to a horizontal navbox and have it at the bottom of articles instead, like the majority of navboxes work. But something has to be done. -- intgr 11:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UMD

Why wasn't UMD featured on this template? I'm going to add UMD to the list as this is an optical format. I'll also add it to the article. Any comments? Alex43223 Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C 04:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HD DVD a subset of DVD?

Why is HD DVD listed as a subset of DVD? I see no reason for this at all and I will change it. Thingg (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I removed Holographic and 3-D types

I removed two so-called media types because they do not seem to fit with the other types listed: the other types appear to be actually commercially available.

However, please revert me if this template is intended to list future types as well, or if there are such products on the market. Some guidance as to what the inclusion criteria would be helpful. The holographic and 3D articles cover a technology in development rather than a product which has been developed, specified and is in daily use. -Wikianon (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
