Las Vegas -- Nine consumer electronics firms on Monday announced the formation of a trade group that will work to promote the DVD-RAM recordable DVD format over the competing DVD+RW format. Companies joining the RAM Promotion Group include Hitachi, HLDS, Hitachi Maxell Ltd., LG Electronics, Matsushita (Panasonic), Samsung, TEAC Corporation, Toshiba and Victor Company. The companies are also members of the Recordable DVD Council, another trade group that supports DVD-RAM and DVD-RW formats developed by the DVD Forum. The RAM Promotion Group cited NPD Group data, saying 59.2% percent of DVD recorders sold in the U.S. in roughly the last three years have supported DVD-RAM. The group's main rivals include members of the DVD+RW Alliance, such as PC makers Dell, H-P and Apple; firms including Sony and Pioneer have released products that support both competing formats.
