Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD or HD VMD) is a high-capacity red laser optical disc technology designed by New Medium Enterprises, Inc.. VMD was intended to compete with the blue laser Blu-ray Disc format and had an initial capacity of up to 30GB per side. At CeBIT in March 2006, NME demonstrated a prototype VMD player and announced that they were expecting to launch the format in the third quarter of 2006.

  • Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD or HD VMD) is a high-capacity red laser optical disc technology designed by New Medium Enterprises, Inc.. VMD was intended to compete with the blue laser Blu-ray Disc format and had an initial capacity of up to 30GB per side. At CeBIT in March 2006, NME demonstrated a prototype VMD player and announced that they were expecting to launch the format in the third quarter of 2006. At the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association trade show in September 2007, NME exhibited two players set for release in October 2007. There were 20 US titles available at launch time, including some from Icon Productions, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, New Line Cinema, DreamWorks SKG, Lionsgate and Weinstein Co.. They have also signed a deal with Bollywood production company Eros Group who intended to release 50 Bollywood features on the format. The two initial players to be released are the ML622S and the ML777S. The ML622S will cost approximately $150 USD. The ML777S costs currently (2008-01) USD 200 and includes USB ports (for connection to external storage devices) and a media-card reader. A story in the New York Times on 10 March 2008 has NME pushing the format as low cost, because red laser technology is less expensive. NME CEO Michael Jay Solomon sees the advantages as the low cost of producing HD VMD master discs, and he says “We can sell players for $90 and make a profit. ” However, New Medium’s price strategy will fail, said Andy Parsons, chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association, because it relies on a false assumption: Blu-ray technology will always be more expensive. “When you mass produce blue lasers in large quantities, hardware costs will absolutely come down,” Mr. Parsons said. “I’m sure we’ll eventually be able to charge $90 for a Blu-ray player. ” On 13 June 2008 Geoffrey Russell, the Interim Chief Executive Officer of New Medium Enterprises, Inc. , notified the US Securities and Exchange Commission that the company would be terminating the registration of the company, a result of which is that NMEN would cease filing reports with the SEC. The date of effect of this action was 90 days after 12 June 2008. In August 2008 three related New Medium companies in the UK, being New Medium Electronics Limited, New Medium Entertainment Limited and New Medium Optics Limited, notified Companies House of their applications for voluntary striking-off. The future of the HD-VMD format is unknown. In October 2008, it was reported that the technology behind HD-VMD had been revived by three apparently related companies - Royal Digital Media, Anthem Digital and DreamStream, to produce a new 100GB optical disc. Anthem Digital chairman Michael Jay Solomon is the former chairman of New Medium Enterprises.
  • Die Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD) ist ein digitales optisches Speichermedium. Mit einer theoretisch bis zu 100 Gigabyte großen Kapazität pro Scheibe stand sie in Konkurrenz zur HD DVD und der Blu-ray Disc und wird daher auch als „HD VMD“ bezeichnet. Sie sollte ursprünglich mit gewöhnlichen DVD-Laufwerken und -Spielern gelesen werden können. Für die ersten VMDs in Serie werden jedoch eigene Player auf den Markt gebracht.
  • Le VMD ou Versatile Multilayer Disc ou HD-VMD est un format de disque optique succédant à l'EVD, développé par NME. Son utilisation première est le stockage de films haute définition. Les VMD sont gravés avec un laser rouge comme le CD, à l'opposé du HD DVD et du blu-ray, et ce afin de diminuer son prix. Sa capacité va de 20 à 48 Go. Les spécialistes doutent de sa capacité à s'imposer dans un environnement dominé par la « guerre » entre HD DVD et blu-ray. En fait, l'arrivée d'un troisième support est perçue comme une mauvaise nouvelle par tous ceux qui plaident pour la mise en place d'un standard. En février 2008, Sony remporte la "guerre" des formats, mettant encore plus en péril le potentiel du "VMD"
  • Il Versatile Multilayer Disc (abbreviato nell'acronimo VMD o HD VMD) è un supporto ottico sviluppato per la televisione ad alta definizione da parte della New Media Enterprises Inc.. È stato pensato per competere con l'HD DVD e il Blu-ray Disc, ma dopo l'abbandono del formato HD DVD, lo si pensa come un formato complementare al Blu ray e non alternativo. Nel marzo 2006 alla CeBIT, la NME da una dimostrazione di un prototipo di un lettore VMD e annuncia un'aspettativa di lancio del formato per il terzo quadrimestre dello stesso anno. Alla fiera del Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association del settembre 2007, la NME esibisce due lettori da lanciare nell'ottobre 2007. Il lancio avrebbe dovuto coincidere con il rilascio di 20 titoli cinematografici nel formato VMD; essi comprendevano produzioni di Icon Productions, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, New Line Cinema, Lionsgate e The Weinstein Company. Firmano inoltre un accordo con la compagnia di produzione di Bollywood Eros Group intenzionata a produrre 50 opere nel formato VMD. Nel marzo 2007 si registrano un totale di film disponibili in formato HD-VMD di circa un centinaio titoli, in lingua inglese, francese, spagnola, portoghese, polacca e indiana.
