As Hollywood readies its new and controversial high-definition DVDs,
at least one major studio is leaving some of the most advanced parts
of the new disc formats on the table in favor of technology that's
more than a decade old.

When I read the article it states that "if other studios such as
Disney, Paramount or Universal Pictures decide to follow Sony's lead"
so how can they say that "Hollywood readies" its new format even if
some of them are leaning. The author contradicts himself even further
by "But so far, studios remain split. Representatives for Warner
Bros. and 20th Century Fox said they were planning to use the new
formats. Warner is leaning toward Microsoft's VC-1 format, while Fox
is leaning towards the AVC format, the studios said." & "Satellite TV
companies Echostar and DirecTV are close to upgrading their
high-definition subscribers to equipment that supports the MPEG-4 AVC
codec. For the satellite companies, this will allow them to broadcast
more channels in the same space they use today."
Sony's decisions may make news but so did BetaMax especially when it
died. Are you sure the author isn't a lawyer? Heck most any one can
say this or that is true but this exception & that exception to the
point the original sensationalized headline is no longer true.
