20th Century Fox has joined a group developing one of two formats being promoted as a next-generation DVD technology.
Fox has joined the Blu-ray Disc Founders, who are working to establish Blu-ray as the follow on to DVD. Another group, called the HD DVD Promotion Group, is developing a competing format, called HD DVD. Both formats use blue lasers, as opposed to the red lasers used in DVD, but they're incompatible. Both also offer significantly more storage; Blu-ray offers 10 times the storage capacity of current DVD technology, and HD DVD also offers about six times as much. The studio's announcement Monday marks one of the rare times an entertainment company will participate in the development of a technology.
