Microsoft and Intel to Support HD-DVDMicrosoft and Intel are expected on Tuesday to
pledge their support for HD-DVD, the next-generation DVD format created by
Toshiba. Microsoft had previously remained neutral in the standards war between
HD-DVD and Sony-backed Blu-ray, as the company's VC-1 Windows Media Video codec
will be included with both formats. The announcement isn't that surprising,
however. Microsoft's Xbox will soon begin a fierce battle with Sony's Blu-ray
capable PlayStation 3 for living room dominance, and the company inked
a deal in April for Warner Home Video to use VC-1 in its HD-DVD
discs.
