A day after Toshiba announced it made the decision to stop manufacturing HD DVDs, all six major Hollywood studios are now supporting Blu-ray as the next-generation High Definition technology standard.

Sony’s Blu-ray is currently supported by Paramount, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Studios, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video, Panasonic, Dell and Philips. Toshiba’s HD DVD is still backed by Sanyo, NEC and Microsoft.

Both Blu-ray and HD are high-definition DVDs, the successor to the regular standard definition DVD. But Blu-ray and HD involve different hardware and are not compatible with each other, reason why consumers had to decide which system to choose.

Moving to a single high-definition format will allow studios to focus on generating awareness among consumers of the many benefits of high-definition media.
