It'd be nice if anyone else has any other ideas that I might be able to look into -- regarding CODEC technologies and storage/delivery technologies (i.e. HDTV, HDDVD, BLURAY, DVD, CD, etc.)

I will check out some references on Wikipedia, I never thought about that! Thanks!
It might be helpful to look at the recently-decided 'battle' between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, which closely paralleled the Betamax/VHS wars of the 1970s... except that Sony 'won' this time, with Blu-Ray becoming the dominant medium, whereas their Beta lost the last time.
