A protective coating that meets a set standard is part of the Blu-Ray spec, so all discs have it, HD-DVD has no such requirement. HD-DVD manufacturers may fold and start doing it, however not doing it would not exclude them from using the official logo so you could never be sure everything you have would be protected.

Hopefully they start using these awesome coatings on all discs, regardless of format. I believe the coating however must be put on in manufacturing, otherwise you could be sure Netflix would have been the first to apply it to all the discs it has, a long time ago.

Now, if they can give us a kit so we can apply Durabis 2 to discs we already have. I'll buy a large tub of it.]]>Jan 19th 2007 10:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/
Actually, you have drm (AACS) to thank for the start up time of high definition discs. It takes a considerably more powerful machine to handle drm on these discs vs. what it took on dvds. The PS3 has a lot more “muscle” so has a shorter startup time.]]>Jan 19th 2007 6:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/Jan 19th 2007 11:47AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/Jan 19th 2007 12:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/Jan 19th 2007 1:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/Jan 19th 2007 2:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/]]>Jan 19th 2007 6:03PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/Jan 19th 2007 6:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/19/tdks-durabis-2-coating-protects-200gb-blu-ray-discs/This disc will be happy to handle 6-7 FULL HD DVD movies.
