		FVD is a red-laser high-definition DVD format developed by Taiwan as an alternative to blue laser HD DVD and Blu-ray disc (BD) high-definition DVD formats.
		Annual FVD shipments are expected to reach 2-3 million units in 2006 and five million units in 2007, Huang added.
		FVD manufacturing had been contracted to BenQ’s optical disc drive (ODD) unit, but its ODD unit was recently acquired by Lite-On IT, which will now conduct manufacturing, Huang noted.

		If the FVD format wins support from Microsoft, Taiwanese makers of optical discs and drives are expected to gain a great opportunity to enter the global market because they will not have to pay the high royalty costs of the big international formats, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.
		The FVD format differs technically from the DVD standard in physical format, compression (encoding) and decoding, and content protection, and therefore is not subject to normal DVD royalty charges.
		FVD is a red-laser based high-definition standard that uses Microsoft’s Windows Media Video-9 code (aka VC-1) to compress information onto a red-laser based disc.

		They're already going their own way with FVD as their chosen standard for HD discs, and now they've finalized their TD-SCDMA 3G network spec so they don't have to pay up to Qualcomm or the 3G consortium to use the existing 3G standards.
		First announced almost a year ago, FVD is a new red laser 11GB disc format dreamed up by a Taiwanese consortium that uses Windows Media Video 9 to squeeze in a couple hours of high-definition video.
		The other advantage of FVD players is that they're cheaper to make since they use red lasers rather than the more expensive blue laser that you have to use to read a 50GB a disc.

		FVD was developed to bridge the pricing gap between DVD and next-generation formats, which aren't expected to go mainstream until 2008.

		Designed principally for consumer-electronics applications, FVD (Forward Versatile Disc) was developed by ITRI's Optoelectronics and Systems Laboratories and the Advanced Optical Storage Research Association, a group organized by ITRI that includes 29 Taiwanese companies, said Joey Yen, an ITRI spokeswoman.
		Unlike other high-capacity optical disc formats such as Blu-ray Disc, FVD is based on the same red laser technology that is used with CDs and DVDs, Yen said, adding that ITRI expects companies to eventually announce DVD players also supporting FVD.
		The use of a red laser sets FVD apart from other high-capacity disc formats, such as Blu-ray Disc, which are based on blue laser technology.
