HD VCRs have been around for a while now. JVC is part of the Blu-Ray camp
for HD recorders. There appears to be an aggreement between the two camps,
led by Sony and Toshiba to produce one product with the advantages of both
to avoid a format war. The format confusion has already existed for DVD
recording for SD but is largely irrelevant due to the pervasiveness of
multi-format devices.

Sony and Toshiba have come to an agreement to come up with a third
standard
for HD recording which will incorporate both BR and HD-DVD.

You're right, I'd forgotton about HD - and then there's BLU-RAY . Perhaps
the VHS/BETA war will skip standard definition and happen again for HD
recording. Perhaps JVC will pitch in with some sort of HD-VHS!!!
