Sony, JVC and Panasonic had been selling AVC-HD videocam for over a year, the partnership themselve occupied over 80% of total DV or videocam market in the world!
Notice that all upcoming Panasonic, Sony and JVC BluRay player or even DVD recorder can support playback the AVC-HD format DVD. Sony's PS3 and 2006 onwards VAIOs can also playback AVC-HD formatted DVD out right from the box!
