Blu-Ray to Dominate High-Definition Disc Market

It looks like I chose the right format to support. A few days ago, Warner Brothers, the last of the undecided movie industry giants, decided that it would exclusively back Blu-Ray discs. This move was a crushing blow to the HDDVD industry. Now, Paramount has announced that it will drop its support of the HDDVD format. This move leaves Universal Studios as the last movie industry giant to back HDDVD. It looks like Blu-Ray may finally win the long and drawn out format war.

The Blu-Ray format has a higher capacity and more potential for High Definition content. This allows for lesser compression on the discs.

Amendment: Paramount has denied the rumor that they will back out of the HDDVD market. However, I suspect that they will eventually.
