The fate of the next generation of DVDs will rest not with Hollywood but with the adult film industry, as have all formats that came before it. From my understanding, only one of the very small number of facilities that are capable of producing Blu-Ray discs are even producing adult media on Blu-Ray. More adult films are available on HD-DVD. So there you have it...who's gonna win? Watch and learn.
I don't know about that. I think these new formats will remain premium for a few years before hitting the mainstream, a event which will be marked with the sub-$200 dual standard player. This will probably be...I'll guess mid to late 2009. During this period it seems to me that porn will probably stay with standard DVD until the HD formats are ubiquitous.
History doesn't always repeat itself. I think the two formats will be a boutique format for a while until they are as good as unified in the eyes of Wal-Mart shoppers. Virtually zero porn was ever released on Laserdisc during its 20+ years on the market. I think we'll see something like that only with a happier ending since a cheap Blu-Ray/HDDVD combo player is imminent, and fully backwards compatible with regular DVD.
The last 25 years of porn are basically VHS, MiniDV, Super8, etc quality and would have to be upscaled at 8x just to be HD anyway. Kind of pointless. Not only that, but hyper detail in porn is...its not needed. Not even wanted.
