TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research)
is planning to give up on its HD DVD format for high-definition video,
conceding defeat to the competing Blu-Ray technology backed by Sony
Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research), a company source said on Saturday.




Japanese public broadcaster NHK had earlier reported that Toshiba
would suffer losses in the tens of billions of yen (hundreds of
millions of dollars) as it scrapped production of HD DVD players and
recorders and took other steps to exit the business.




The company source told Reuters that Toshiba was in the final stages
of planning to exit the HD DVD business and that an official decision
would be made soon.
