LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood studios are becoming deeply divided over which high-definition technology will replace the DVD, increasing prospects that it will be years before next-generation players become standard equipment in U.S. households.
Paramount Pictures (VIAb.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc (DWA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) signed exclusivity deals to distribute their next-generation discs on Toshiba Corp's (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research) HD DVD format for the next 18 months, a move that evened a contest where Sony Corp's (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) Blu-Ray Disc appeared to be pulling ahead.
