High-Definition Format War Analysis on CNN
The electronics and entertainment industries are shaping up for the biggest format battle since the "video wars" between VHS and Betamax to decide the future of DVD.
Two rival "next generation" DVD formats look set to be launched onto the marketplace next year.
Both are backed by powerful and well-known Japanese manufacturers, with each staking their claim to an industry worth billions of dollars.
And with the DVD market unlikely to support parallel formats, the loser faces the prospect of squandering millions spent on research, development and marketing costs.
Both "Blu-ray", principally backed by Sony, and "HD DVD", which has been developed by Toshiba, are based on the same basic technology.
