In a not unexpected announcement, Toshiba has welcomed the news that Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Animation will exclusively support HD-DVD on a global basis.
“It is clearly significant that Paramount, which originally released titles in multiple HD formats, has now made the definitive selection of HD DVD as the sole format for its worldwide releases. DreamWorks Animation’s decision to introduce high-definition releases, and to do so exclusively in the HD DVD format, is also an important milestone for HD DVD. I understand that these decisions reflect Paramount and DreamWorks Animation’s understanding of the present value and future potential that HD DVD brings to home entertainment, including cost-effective manufacturability and advanced features,” said Yoshihide Fujii, Corporate Senior Vice President and President & CEO of Toshiba’s Digital Media Network Company.
