Paramount
has responded to
reports
that it intends to defect to the Blu-ray camp, insisting that it has no
intention of abandoning the HD-DVD format.
"Paramount's current plan is to continue to support the HD-DVD format," said
Paramount spokeswoman Brenda Ciccone.
The
Toshiba-led
HD-DVD
Consortium was dealt a blow this week after
Warner
Bros announced that it will
no longer support
the HD-DVD format and will back Blu-ray exclusively.
Despite Toshiba's assertion that HD-DVD is
still going
strong, the move has left many speculating that the HD format war may be
drawing to a close.
However, this staunch denial from Paramount, and continued support from
industry giants like
Microsoft
and Intel,
means that it may be some time before a resolution is reached.
