Talk:HDi (interactivity)

message: Microsoft has changed the name of their Interacive HD interface from iHD to HDi. --(Anonymous)
Apparently the official name is "Advanced Navigation" and the internal code names have been "iHD" and "HDi".  Unfortunately this fact is difficult to cite with certainty.  EngadgetHD had MS's Kevin Collins talk about the name changes on their podcast (theres a news post about it) but blogs and podcasts aren't exactly encyclopedia-strength sources.  The only thing that can be proven with some certainty is that the original name of the standard was "iHD".  In the official XML Namespace for HDi, it is called "iHD". --208.242.14.101 06:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Article says that it is an open specification, which I believe is incorrect.  Microsoft published some tools for authoring HDi, and maintains a forum and a blog concerning it.  The only way to get the complete specification, however, is to sign a NDA and pay $5000 to the DVD Forum.  The open parts are css, Javascript, and SMIL, which are all approved by w3c.  The important parts, though, such as Javascript methods and xml syntax, are only available through the spec that requires an NDA. 75.100.252.46 04:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on your definition of "open." The HD DVD specification is created by the DVD Forum (which is comprised of many different companies) and not by any individual company, although of course any given section of the specificaion originiated from a proposal made by one or more individual companies. Case in point: the interactive layer was proposed by Microsoft and Disney, but it was accepted by all companies and the final version in the specification has had contributions from other companies such as Sonic Solutions and Toshiba. The point being that no single company controls the format; the other member companies must agree to the proposal in order for it to pass. Clearly this doesn't meet some definitions of "open" since the specification is still covered by copyright and implementing it requires paying royalties, etc. but it is also not wholly proprietary, either.
