New DVD technology coming soon

Lions Gate Entertainment announced it will release movies and other content on the high-definition Blu-Ray disc format when that technology launches next year.

Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are the two next-generation DVD formats competing to replace standard DVDs. Both promise increased storage capacity and enhanced resolution to get top performance from high-definition television sets, and both would contain stronger anti-piracy protection.

HD-DVD players and films are expected to be available by the end of the year.
