Blu-Ray Vs HD-DVD Camps Are Set Now
RedHerring: The Blue-Ray vs HD-DVD divide is set now, with Universal Music Group, one of the top worldwide music labels, deciding to back Sony's answer (Blue-Ray) to next-generation optical discs (HD-DVD, backed by Toshiba). With the announcement, Blu-ray has captured about 50 percent of music industry support represented by Universal and Sony BMG. The music labels intend to launch music DVDs with the technology.
On the movie side, all the major Hollywood movie studios have already picked sides. Earlier this month, Fox Studios was the last major studio to make its choice, deciding to go with Blu-ray. The move balanced studio backing, with the two formats each claiming three major studios in their camps.

Will Blu-Ray DVD still be protected for analog copy? Some sites talk about analog hole they open. For instance I use this one: http://www.xdimax.com/dvd/dvdredpro.html
Quite sure it will work with Blue-Ray as well
