Also there was Dan Silverberg, VP of high-definition media for Warner Home Video, which since Paramount's move to the HD DVD camp is the only studio to support both next-generation formats.
That may not be for long, Silverberg said. "One thing that may be changing is our strategy," he said. "When both formats launched and hardware prices were high, we made a decision to support both formats and let the consumer decide. But now that hardware pricing is affordable for both Blu-ray and HD DVD, it appears consumers no longer want to decide — so the notion of staying in two formats for the duration is something we are re-evaluating now that we are in the fourth quarter."
Now, we don't know which side they want to take but this could be big news. Should the studio decide to back only one format it could bring an end to the format war. Warner has the biggest movie catalog in world and whoever gets their support wins.
