    I have about 10 blank HDDVDs. I need to find a HDDVD writer.

      Let's take one step back, and ask, what is it that you are interested in?

      If you are looking to make or record or save HD video, then the HD in HD DVD will not be your solution. You still need high quality video that you can burn onto the disc. And here are the tricky parts:

      • An image frame of completely black is not always completely black.
      • The grain on the original film takes up space but may or may not be intended to be in the film, but removing it for digital distribution will not approve it as original.
      • Color correction.

      Our digital world is full of flaws. I am glad that we can store data uncompressed, lossless. But that is never done for video. Video is always saved in lossy compression, and for each edit of that same movie, the quality will keep reducing.

      As a Dragonball Z fan, knowing that the last decade (or more) has had releases of "high quality" (read upscaled, applied noise reduction and digitally enhanced to the point it is no longer looking like the original drawings), where they just took an old version of the video, processed it so it looked less grainy and old, adjusted the colors to be less dull (but not correct), and released it as "intended". Obviously, this made fans that remember the original and actually care about quality, very upset. This year, a French studio actually managed to prove that it is possible to restore video in a better way (by just caring and understanding the source material, and not even doing it for the fans), and I recommend you watch this to kinda understand what I am trying to get at:
