„JVC (Japan Victor Company) has been a leader in developing and marketing products for the HDTV market, including its "D-Theatre" system, which is based on special D-VHS recorders and includes a small but growing selection of HDTV movies. D-VHS recorders have been available since 1998, and not only record and playback HDTV programming, but S-VHS and standard VHS recordings as well. The D-Theatre concept, introduced in 2001, incorporates a special digital encoding system that allows HDTV recordings to be played back on special D-Theatre D-VHS recorders, but these recordings cannot be copied.“http://www.mmislueck.com/archives/071003.htm - Cached
„ We both seek to provide consumers with digital entertainment whether it's computer games on an X-Box or X-Men on DVD, whether on web sites or in e-books, on IPods or ITV. Our industries already inspire and rely on each other in all kinds of ways and all kinds of businesses. I'm here to suggest that, beginning today, we turn that relationship into a partnership.“http://www.way.nu/archives/000493.html - Cached

„If market trends established during the first five months of 2002 continue for the rest of the year, the ratio of sales of the two formats in the U.S. will favor DVD by more than two-to-one. We might note here that these comments apply largely to video software that is sold to end users, "sell-through", as distinct from rentals. Rentals of VHS titles remain strong largely because of the far greater selection available in VHS, and because, as the "shocked" people were quick to point out, almost every American home has at least one VCR, while only about 30 percent currently have DVD-Video players.“http://www.mmislueck.com/archives/062802.htm - Cached
