Blu-Ray Tipped to Win DVD Format Battle

October 20th 2005 | Storage

Forrester Research on Wednesday declared Blu-Ray, a new DVD format backed by a group led by Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) as the winner in an increasingly heated battle over next-generation DVD technology.

"Two groups are competing for control of high-definition DVD formats to be launched in the spring of 2006. After a long and tedious run up to launch, it is now clear to Forrester that the Sony-led Blu-ray format will win," said Forrester Research analyst Ted Schadler in a report. Earlier this month, Paramount Home Entertainment said it would release high-definition movies in the Blu-ray format.
