DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 now supports full HD-DVD 1.0 spec
Well, this answers a lingering question - it looks like Apple WILL support BOTH HD-DVD and Blu Ray. Steve Jobs publicly stated last year, with the (now gone) head of Sony that Apple would be supporting the Blu Ray format for high def DVDs. And, not that there was doubt, also the HD-DVD standard is now confirmed and the 1.0 spec supported.
Just a few minutes ago, Software Update popped up with DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3, with teh following description:
DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 updates compliance for the 1.0 HD DVD Video standard content specification to Tiger and Panther based users. Users with DVD Studio Pro 4.0 or later need to install this update to ensure their projects are compliant with the 1.0 HD DVD Video standard content specification.
... so that answers that. Glad to hear the spec has been finalized, or at least that is a (somewhat) reasonable assumption to draw based on this announcement.
Woops, the above is a bit misleading - to be clear - it was known all along that the intent was to support HD-DVD, but this PROVES it with a SHIPPING version 1.0 spec suppported.

The spec can be found at: http://www.dvdforum.org/gen-reqspec.htm
Note, there is some confusion about BluRay and HD-DVD. I know this sounds crazy, but HD DVD is different than HD-DVD (the Toshiba one). The HD DVD spec of the 'DVD Forum' is (at least I am pretty sure) the same for both HD-DVD and BluRay. Sony and Toshiba are both members of the DVD Forum: see http://www.dvdforum.org/about-steering.htm
