Take this news with a grain of salt, as apparantly the documentary is from a local japanese news station, not exactly reuters. But interesting nonetheless and does shed some light on a format I knew nothing about. According to Wikipedia , the only big studio so far supporting the format is Warner Brothers (since March 2009), but apparantly the format itself has been around since September 2007 and stands for China Blue High Definition. Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t start jumping at selling your blu-ray players.

A recent report by a Japanese news station looking at CBHD format and its competition with Blu-ray confirms CBHD has a 3% market share lead on Blu-ray. The CBHD format launched in the first half of 2009, Blu-ray launched in China mid 2008.
