We live with more than one game standard so I'm sure we can live with more than one movie standard. I'd say he is right that both will survive for some time. Blu-Ray was smart to add extra content protection from a marketing perspective to the content owners, and it might tip things their way if HD DVD gets hacked and they don't, but odds are both get hacked, hardware stumbles along and nobody gets the "perfect world" for years to come. But hey, at least we have something. I just hope I can buy a reasonably priced complete 1080p video, lossless audio, home theatre system by the end of the year.
