LOS ANGELES - In a further sign that Sony Corp.'s Blu-ray has won the high-definition format war, Paramount Pictures home entertainment unit said Friday it will release its last HD DVD titles on Tuesday. The company intends to switch to Blu-ray after it offers Things We Lost in the Fire and Into the Wild on HD DVD. Paramount said it is determining its Blu-ray release schedule. Universal Studios said last week it was shifting its focus to Sony's Blu-ray standard. That announcement came after Toshiba Corp. said it would no longer develop, make or market players and recorders in HD DVD, the standard it invented. Blu-ray won another key battle last month when Warner Bros. Entertainment chose it as the exclusive format for its releases. Other Blu-ray backers are Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Co. and News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox. Paramount is a division of Viacom Inc.
