I heard about this format a year ago, and still there is no new information about it. How are they making money to pay their staff wages?

no but i am not the target market either, and i dont have blu-ray or Hd-DVD so the fact i dont have one is not important, the important bit is the potential market....

Fair enough but as you say,the format is pushed more towards the Bollywood end of things....and thats what it is a Bollywood player lets face it i would imagine the asian country's bar (japan,hong kong,china etc) they have not even heard of HD or able to buy a HD tv because of the very low incoms.
I dont think they have any chance o taking Blu-Ray on or infact DVD's in that part of the world,it will stay around like VCD's

If the asian market want a HD format that isn't blu-ray they could still approach Toshiba for HD DVD. I'm sure they'd let them have a good deal to get some money back. There might have been a chance a few years ago but blu-ray is now getting cheaper in price too. I can only see this being a two horse race between DVD and blu-ray now.
