The DVD forum, held another meeting in Tokyo Japan. To discuss among other things, physical descriptions of the new HD-DVD standard. And specifically layering and rewriteable disc properties. Among other issues discussed was the implementation of 1080p into the standard.

The next version (1.9) is expected to be ratified in February of 2005, while 2.0 should go into effect September of 2005. This will mark a milestone for the group as this around the same time HD-DVD players and discs, should start to make their way to consumers abroad.
