"TOKYO, April 21 (Reuters) - The companies backing competing formats for next-generation DVD technology will never again talk about forming a unified standard, an executive at Matsu****a Electric Industrial Co. said on Friday, leaving it to the consumer to choose the winning side.

"We are not talking and we will not talk," Kazuhiro Tsuga, an executive officer at Matsu****a, the world's largest consumer electronics maker, told Reuters in an interview. "The market will decide the winner."
Matsu****a, best known for its Panasonic brand, is a leading supporter of Blu-ray, one of two competing formats for the next-generation DVD. The other format, called HD-DVD, is backed by a group led by Toshiba Corp."
