Samsung Electronics Ties Up With Warner Bros. For DVD Market

South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. said it would forge a business tie-up with US film distributor Warner Bros. to market digital video discs (DVDs) around the world. Under the agreement to be signed next week, Samsung will provide digital video discs (DVDs) and DVD-Video players and the US film producer-distributor will supply motion pictures to be contained on the DVDs. ""Because of the lack of content, the DVD market here is still in its infancy. This deal will provide us with the content needed to create demand for DVDs and DVD players in South Korea and around the world,"" a Samsung Electronics spokesman said. A movie with a two-hour running time can be contained in a single DVD. DVDs guarantee finer pictures than CDs. Samsung exports one million DVDs every year. Source: Agence France-Presse
