Fox Entertainment has joined a group of companies promoting the Blu-ray disc, one of two competing formats for next-generation DVDs, but said it hasn't decided which disc to back.
“Fox is also part of a group that is endorsing a rival technology called HD-DVD, which is being pushed by Japanese electronics maker Toshiba Corp.
Both formats promise increased storage capacity and movie resolution high enough to get the most out of high-definition TV sets.
Fox technology expert Michael O’Neill said the company was not ready to put its films, television shows and other content on Blu-ray discs. “
It sounds like Fox is trying to get a feel for which format will reign sumpreme. With Sony announcing the purchase of MGM, we expect the Blue-Ray disc to be the format of choice.
