Japanese disc maker Infinity has produced the world’s first production video title to feature both Blu-ray and DVD on a single sided disc.

A box set of the Japanese TV series Code Blue will include both formats by storing the data at different levels.

A DVD player’s red laser will see only see the DVD layer while a Blu-ray player will see the Blu-ray layer.

Discs for this title are DVD9 + BD25, though DVD5 + BD50 is also possible.

HD DVD touted its combo discs as an advantage over Blu-ray, though personally I saw limited value in them and see limited value in this technology also - especially with Blu-ray players in the $150 dollar range!
