Hybrid Blu-Ray and DVD Movie Disc Announced

A Japanese software company called Pony/Canon (sounds like a Civil War-era weapons system) announced the February release of the first-ever movie title to be released on a hybrid Blu-Ray/DVD disc. The disc layers one format on top of the other on the same side of the disc. The outside layer reads but reflects Blu-Ray blue laser light, but allows through DVD red laser light, which is read on the inside layer. It's compatible with existing Blu-Ray and DVD players, according to the company.
