In Reply to: what's the deal on dvd selections??! posted by skip on September 12, 1999 at 09:59:44:
2 of the titles you mentioned are Stephen Spielberg titles. Stephen has taken a stance to not distribute his movies on DVD. Hopefully his ignorance will cease and you, as well as others myself included, will be able to enjoy his work on this clearly excellent format. I wonder if anyone else has info about a possible time-table for release?
Any sane reason you can offer why Spielberg is taking such a stance? (just curious)
No idea at all. No logical reason as far as I see it.
Just speculation:
Could be that he is waiting for the whole Digital TV thing mature a little more. While I myself don't discourage anyone from buying a DVD player, I have some concerns about a digital format that is inferior to near-term HDTV standards.If the man is going to remaster his catalog, he may not want to redo his work for HDTV.
Are you suggesting he wouldn't get a return on re-mastering? Do you really think he would do the re-mastering personally?If he was so concerned about the quality of the product being distributed then none of his films would ever be screened on normal television or on normal video. There must be some other reason.
From what I've heard Speilberg was one of the directors that was on the DIVX bandwagon (Along with Disney and Lucas). With the death of DIVX we may start to see some of these titles now.
