CH-DVD has been “created” by the smart guys at the awesome-sounding Optical Memory National Engineering Research Center (OMNERC), with some help from the Foundation of China High Definition DVD Industry Association (CHDA), both of which feel like they were “officialized” just yesterday. The CH-DVD, however, appears like it’s “copied” from Toshiba’s HD-DVD format, only enriched with some proprietary code that makes it unique.
