"We are considering rolling back our launch in the hopes of a last-minute compromise, which would avoid two formats straining the marketplace," said Jim Cardwell, president of Warner Home Video.


Of course our friend Warren Lieberfarb is stubborn as usual

Warren Lieberfarb, the ex-Warner Home Video president, known as the "father of DVD," who has been a consultant to Toshiba in the race to develop a next-generation, high-definition optical disc format, pooh-poohs the studio backdowns.

"Toshiba is going forward," he insists.

Still, without much product in the market, experts see little chance of the format taking hold with consumers.
 
And they aren't backpedaling in favor of Blu-Ray, but in favor of a unified format. Again, this has been posted already.
