PC World scored an interview with Alan Bell, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Paramount Pictures.

Bell refrains from talking about any financial compensation Paramount received from Toshiba. He seems well informed about the format, and discusses the areas that Paramount feels HD DVD is ahead of Blu Ray in. His list of features that make HD DVD attractive to Paramount include price, stability of specifications and interactivity via HDi and ethernet. He downplays the storage capacity advantage Blu Ray enjoys, citing the 45 gigabyte triple layer disc that Toshiba has in development.

PC World ends the article with Bell stating that the commitment to HD DVD is indefinite.
