NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Time Warner Inc's (TWX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Warner Bros studio plans to announce it will release next generation DVDs on Sony Corp's (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) Blu-ray format exclusively, two sources familiar with the plans said on Friday, dealing a big blow to Toshiba Corp's (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research)HD DVD format.

Warner Bros, Hollywood's biggest seller of DVDs representing about 18 to 20 percent of sales in the United States, had been one of the few studios that backed both formats.

News Corp's (NWSa.N: Quote, Profile, Research) 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Co (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research), and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp (LGF.N: Quote, Profile, Research) are among studios backing the Blu-ray format. Viacom Inc's (VIAb.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Paramount studios and General Electric Co's (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) NBC Universal, owned by General Electric Co (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and France's Vivendi, release movies in HD DVD format.

An announcement is expected shortly, the sources said. (Reporting by Kenneth Li in New York and Bob Tourtellotte in Los Angeles, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
