We have heard through several sources that the Dolphin’s DVD format would be comparable to that of a mini-disc in physical size, though it would still be a proprietary design to Nintendo. Exactly what sort of storage space the format would offer is unconfirmed, but once source provided, “something between one and two gigs.” So why doesn’t Nintendo exclusively go with Open DVD? Well, by staying proprietary, the company protects itself and third-party publishers against software piracy.
