If The Walt Disney Company isn't just wishing on a star, its new Keychest technology could become the way to watch video.

Code-named Keychest, the technology could let consumers pay one price and then watch a movie from any compatible device, whether an iPhone, a computer's Web browser, or an on-demand cable system.

The Journal said Keychest will be unveiled next month, and Disney is now trying to get major studios, networks and consumer technology companies to join the effort.
