AOD was the standard before Blu Ray and HD-DVD split and went their separate ways. Who is to say that both Blu and HD aren't both at fault for not working together on one standard?

Toshiba would not share royalties thus pointless hddvd was born.

And so the group forming Blu-Ray as an "alternative" that was outside of the DVD standards group at the time was purely a move to benefit the customer? Hardly. They wanted a piece of the Action Toshiba had from previos DVD licensing and Toshiba didn't want to give it up. It's all corporate greed... no matter how you look at it.

Interesting read for you... It sheds some interesting light on the whole breakdown that led to two formats...

and a small exerpt from that:

"Toshiba began to work on a format it called Advanced Optical Disc (AOD), while Sony and several other consumer electronics vendors started working on Blu-ray Disc. The DVD Forum, the official consortium that shepherded the original DVD format to the market, chose AOD as the next-generation and dubbed it HD DVD. Sony thumbed its nose at this snub and continued with Blu-ray (deliberately misspelled so it could be trademarked) development. "
