The high-definition disc format backed by Toshiba suffered a loss of support from 20th Century Fox last week and The Reporter is suggesting that the other two Hollywood studios now backing HD-DVD are getting wedding day jitters. HD-DVD has some distinct advantages, including a superior name. Everyone in the world knows what a DVD is. They also know what HDTV is. The marriage of the two is a natural. One thing that consumers find unnatural and even repulsive is the idea of a format war and it seems Hollywood studio execs have learned their lessons from the Beta-VHS and SACD-DVD-Audio battles. In the SACD-DVD-Audio battle, consumers and entertainment executives learned it is possible for all parties involved to lose...

Ask a record producer or mixing engineer and they talk about having their box of crayons upgraded from the little 16 pack to the big 64 box with the sharpener in the back. Everyone loves music in surround. The problem arises when you start building your collection and realize there simply isn't that much music mixed for surround, even to this day. Early adopters of music in surround latched onto the critically acclaimed "Buena Vista Social Club" DVD-Audio disc, but since then, there simply hasn't been much that adds to that genre.
