Philips Media has signed an agreement to distribute 30 films from the MGM and UA libraries for the compact disc-interactive system, using the recently developed MPEG-1 standard, which allows for full-screen, full-motion video.
While neither executives of MGM/UA nor Philips would disclose financial details, sources said the deal would bring several million dollars to the studio for the rights to the titles.
