DVDs deliver extended cut of profit to studios
[Archived in Entry, Movies Dvd Vhs, Vhs Dvd Movies]
sebimeyer on 2004/02/25:
„Certain movies, such as the original Star Wars trilogy, have been released numerous times on VHS, so there is a precedent of repeated releases that predates the arrival of DVDs. But the way movies are released now, some almost yearly with only minor changes, exudes pure marketing strategy.“

Life as PopArt
[Archived in Entry, Music Videos On Dvd]
SilverBlue on 2004/02/23:
„I was able, this past weekend, to pick up a copy of the PopArt DVD, which is a collection of 41 music videos by Pet Shop Boys. Missing, obviously, is the one-off they did as "Absolutely Fabulous". A shame, as it's a nice, if quirky video.“

„I have vowed to take photos and dilligently send them to him while he is away to keep him up to date on what's going on at home. I have even considered buying a portable DVD/VCD player for him and a digital video camera for me so that I can make him home videos of the family gatherings to watch, but I'm waiting to see whether their living quarters can accommodate such electronic equipment. I'm trying to think of ways to keep us connected. Of course, suggestions are welcome!“

Brian on 2004/02/22:
„Imagine, for instance, something potentially sold at Radio Shack that would connect between the DVD player and your TV screen and that would make a non-digital copy of the DVD onto VHS. On the one hand, something like this is supposedly legal. But, it's hard to see how such a device is significantly different from the very function of 321's software which is now illegal.“

BitTorrent: Phase III of File Sharing
[Archived in Dvd Video Quality, Entry]
Mary Hodder on 2004/02/12:
„This system would work to the find a middle ground between a DRM/IP regime lockdown, and what Nesson referred to as a "disaster" for the content industry, though I would argue that movies/TV/Cable are different that other media, and each media needs to be considered on it's own, when thinking about these issues. In fact, I think that low quality video files are considered to be of just-okay quality for people wanting a quick glance at content, and so they may download something on one of these networks, but that people really want the big rich high quality screen experience, hence video's inability to kill the experience or desire by people to go out to see a big screen movie, and people aalso love watching DVD's on plasma, because of the rich experience... downloaded files on little screens are just not nice in that way. Imagine watching Lord of the Rings on a five inch screen.“

Keith Shaw on 2004/02/06:
„Today, the good folks at Primera announced its Bravo II Disc Publisher, which burns and prints CDs and DVDs through the use of its advanced robotic mechanism. The robot arm transports a disk into a 52x-speed CD-R recorder, or an optional Pioneer combination DVD+/-R/CD-R drive. After recording, the robot arm then transfers it to an integrated printer, and the "label" gets printed directly on the disc at up to 4,800 dpi resolution. The device lets you print up to 50 disks per job, the company says.“

„So, in the rush for DVD profits, are the studios cannibalizing a core revenue stream, syndication? With high penetration of DVD players, Blockbusters on every corner not to mention Netflix, and dare we say DVD-recorders, it makes you wonder — what’s the future for advertiser-supported television?“

sebimeyer on 2004/02/02:
„"After 10 months of trying to strike a deal with Disney, we're moving on" Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar, said in a news release. According to the New York Times, Pixar's movies have grossed "$2.5 billion at the worldwide box office and sold more than 150 million DVD's and videos," making it one of the most financially successful studios of all time, since each of its five movies so far has been a blockbuster. The movies have also been acclaimed, both with fans as well as critics, and have garnered several Oscars and various other prizes.“
