Once these things are set, it's only a matter of copy + pasting, which does NOT require a skilled programmer to do.

Incompatibilities exist in both HDi and BD-J, if the specs for HD DVD were so finalized, why do the players required so many firmware upgrades in order to play certain discs? Incompatibilities exist for both formats.
I agree with you on the incompatibilities on both formats but I believe a lot of those are based around authoring issues. The Blu-Ray issue of concern is how the older players with deal with new features. I suppose we need to wait for the first PiP title from Fox in Q1 to really see. My real concern is the drastic changes to the spec after nearly a year and half..
