Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that its UMD disc has been approved as a standard format by Ecma International.

"Ecma is an industry association founded in 1961, dedicated to the standardization of information and communication systems. Analysts say the latest approval will encourage movie distributors and music labels to publish titles more in UMD formats, which will help expand the installation base of PSP portable game consoles."
