Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

it's about control

They can't control DVD anymore and the DVD cash bubble is losing its air. They need a new revenue stream and better copy protection. Then there's that whole interactive/special features BS that they say people want. And since the new players will play DVDs, you will see a gradual decline in DVD player and DVD software production (think VHS, CD, VCRs and CD players). Both formats also have hybrid capabilities (DVD and Blu-Ray or HD-DVD on the same disc), so this can be used to eliminate multiple inventories of the same movie.

I'm obviously not part of their target audience: all I want is the movie encoded with lossless audio and 16+Mb/s 1920x1080p VC-1 or H.264 AP video. I'm even willing to pay retail to have this without so much as one director's commentary, actor's interview, slide show, game demo or interactive capability. I just want the best audio and video quality that the next gen format is capable of delivering. I'm not interested in the rest of the crap they want to cram on the disc (a contributing reason why DVD is not as good as it could be).
