RE: Warner's might be rooting for HD DVD to win but they might be more interested in ending the format war.

Possibly near term, but long term it will, plus it may be better for them. If they go, that would mean a second studio defected, and perception is everything. The others will follow. Warner is BD's #2 studio, putting out 25% of their movies, just a few titles shy of Sony. Warner also co-owns many of the patents involved in HD DVD. Then there's replication costs (the subsidies won't go on forever), plus the BDA is still relying on a game console.
Warner really is the key to both formats, and they know it.
As you say, we will see.
