Plain ol' DVD pales next to HD on 40"+ screens. - oscar 14:50:31 01/19/07 (0)
I miss my HD broadcasts when I stoop to watching lowly DVDs on the big screen.

More will be coming(no pun intended) in March. Most of the major porn studios have decided to go HD DVD. Blu-ray (Sony) has threatened to take away the licence of any replicator that does porn on BR. Whether or not it has any real effect the format's acceptance, remains to be seen. People forget just how big the porn industry really is.

  Hieth,
  how youth doin'?
  Anyway.... yes, porn is huge. But do the guys that buy it really want higher resolution? It's fine in theory, but it requires ponying up
  more money. I think that will slow that down to a crawl. On top od that the discs will be more delicate, limiting it's appeal to families.
  IMHO, it's toast regardless of what Jenna Jameson does in HiDef...

    Do guys (and Gals) want better quality pictures for their porn? I'm going to hazard a guess and say yes.

    True, but porn and extra income tend to go hand in hand. Somebody has to be keeping the industry alive.

    Porn usually doesn't appeal to families per se, and the discs aren't any more delicate than a regular DVD.
    Personally, I don't know if it will really make a difference with the formats or not. Or if it will sell or not. I haven't watched porn in years.
    I still think both formats will coexist for quite a while, surviving as niche products.

    - Ahh, we are talking about different things. The 'buzz' has been that they would take over, not just become a niche - late 14:10:54 01/18/07 (1)
      Hi,
      I think the pits are 6 times smaller, so any scratch is six times worse. For the medium to thrive it needs families; and I doubt that's gonna happen. Like SACD and it's competitor, it will struggle along in obscurity until the next big thing buries it forever.

  Aparently porn DVDs/VHS is a $4B industry.
  Here's a link for a few movies:

    "Porn is a $4B/year industry. For your next task you'll be filming a....." OK, maybe not.
