It seems as though DVD forum, chaired by Toshiba, is going to do everything it can to make it one tough battle. They have decided to try to overhaul the standard DVD format by finding ways to "incorporate some of the same next-gen functionality developed for HD DVD into a DVD 2.0 format, including the HDi interactive layer and the advanced network connectivity."
