20th Century Fox has become the last major movie studio to pick sides in the high-stakes battle over what format of optical disks will dominate high-definition content, saying it is going with Sony-backed Blu-ray over the rival HD DVD format, backed by Toshiba.

The next-generation discs are being developed in both formats to provide high-definition content that promises crisper visual and sound quality. 20th Century Fox’s decision, announced late Friday, said Blu-ray provides a better content-protection system, a statement HD DVD proponents say is false.
