HD DVD was a digital format that was intended to be the successor to DVD, but it was defeated by the Blu-ray format. More

HD DVD was the intended successor to DVD (Digital Versatile Disc). HD (High Density) meant that digital data was stored on the discs at a high density, resulting in better picture and sound than on regular DVD discs.

The system was developed by the Japanese Toshiba and the battle for the format to succeed DVD was against the Blu-ray format that was supported by Sony and developed together with Panasonic, Philips and Pioneer.

HD DVD was the first to hit the market, in March 2006, while Blu-ray was introduced worldwide in June 2006. After a short but fierce competition, HD DVD lost and was discontinued in February 2008. This made Blu-ray the global standard for high-density DVDs.
