Sorry, the closest I've come to seeing a film rendition is The Butterfly Effect, which took the concept and shat on it.

A point of a STANDARD is that everyone can use it. Microsoft as I see it is trying to push HD-DVD over BluRay for several reasons. One of them is that I personally as a PC user find that Java is slow and clunky, it realllly hogs resources. Another is I see MS trying to pick the lesser of the 2 evils, we know well Sony's recent multi-platform rootkit from DRM, not to mention that BluRay is -LESS- compatible with current DVD technology than HD-DVD is, so HD-DVD seems more logical on the war of compatibility with existing good technologies, plus it's DRM scheme is likely to be a lot easier on hardware and software to decode than something based on Java. As I see it, MS is trying an alternate tactic of creating a -standard- in the industry to benefit everyone, in the end us, the end user, the slashdotters who would love to share all those files with our buddies knowing that we won't run into problems because of 2 very different competing technologies which would divide the market and thusly make it so there isn't a true standard. I also see MS as doing this where the talks to unify BluRay and HD-DVD failed (which is a sad story in my eyes). In the end it's better for the consumer, the average person, to have just one form of disc, and it's the consumer who gets shafted more each day as more things are becoming subscription (and thusly you have to pay) where it isn't needed to line the coffers of big companies even more, shows just how bad greed has gotten out of control and how much we, the people, suffer under corporate demand that we just give up fighting and reluctantly fork over our money.
