Blu-ray Disc Format Specifications Completed

[dubyateeeff]

BR specs are finalised (actual specs elsewhere)

“The completion of these specifications is an important step in establishing Blu-ray Disc as the premiere next-generation optical disc format and provides manufacturers with the information they need to launch products this beginning this Spring.”

Finally... so where can we find the specs?

Does this mean TDK's 4-layer 100GB BluRay Writable would not be compatible with the first generation players?

I posted this in the CES thread, but like there I'll ask here if this implies AACS and/or BD-J have been completed, or if this just refers to the physical structure of the disc?

Well the physical structure was settled. I think the problem is finding ways to manufacture the discs economically. Especially working out dual-layer and hardcoat issues.

AACS is supposedly done but they're wrangling over licensing terms, which affect HD-DVD as well.
