Warner Brothers, a division of Time Warner, will introduce a new disc called Total HD at CES in a couple of days. Total HD will be a single videodisc that can play films and television programs in both Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats.
Blu-ray, a consortium lead by Sony, and HD-DVD, backed by Toshiba and Microsoft, have been fighting a similar war that Betamax and VHS fought decades ago causing adoption of high definition home video to be slow.
The Executives at Time Warner hope to kickstart sales of new DVD players and movies by convincing studios to release their videos in both formats. Fox and Disney for example are supporting Blu-ray instead of HD-DVD.
