I don't see Sony/Disney/Fox defecting no matter what Warner's does.

Warner going HD DVD still maintains the stalemate.

Warner is the number 2 studio in BD, one title shy of Sony (94 Vs. 95). They are putting out 1/4 of the BDA's titles, much more than most. Add the fact that *if* they were to go HD DVD way (that's a big if), it would be the second major studio to defect. As you know, perception is everything.
Time will tell.

- The Blu-ray studios like BD+/region coding as well as the bandwidth/storage advantages. - oscar 11:23:00 12/07/07 (1)
  And virtually all their releases won't fit on a 30G disk without a re-encode process (in addition to the quality hit). It would be painful for those Studios to switch.
  - Aren't these the same studios that supported DIVX for many of the same reasons? - Jack G 12:02:30 12/07/07 (0)
    Security has been cracked on DVDs for some time now-yet I don't see them stopping production. And as stated before, 1/2 of their discs are BD-25s. They just won't be able to use MPEG-2. No loss there.
    The truth is, regardless of what side the studios are on now, they will change if its in their best interests. Some will take longer. I think Disney was the last to adopt DVD-and I believe they were VHS exclusive for quite a while.
