According to CENS.COM Prodisc has filed for corporate restructuring with the Taiwan Government.  With 8.6 Billion dollars in Liability, Prodisc, Taiwan’s 3rd largest manufacturer will stop making optical discs.  Although not unexpected Prodisc continues to blame Philips for it’s woes.  Philips has had to seize assets of Prodisc because of Prodisc’s refusal to pay royalties that it has felt are too high. As most people know Philips royalties were for CD-R production and not DVD but the conflict between the two companies spilled out into a public display of mutual dislike.  By forcing the situation Prodisc left little choice for Philips.  This leaves CMC and Ritek as the last major disc manufacturers in Taiwan.
