At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Wednesday, Toshiba unveiled the first two high-definition DVD players using the HD DVD platform that it plans to introduce in the U.S. in March. The home-video divisions of Time Warner's Warner Bros., HBO, and New Line, as well as Paramount and Universal, also disclosed some 50 HD DVD titles that they plan to release this spring. In a statement, Warren Lieberfarb, often regarded as "the father of DVD." noted that the three companies "are responsible for more than half of the major feature films and television programs ever developed and their movies make up more than fifty percent of the American Film Institute's top 100 films of all time." The HD DVD Group said that more than 150 titles in the format were expected to be available by the end of the year.
