With progressive-scan 480p DVD players now available on sale for about $20--the price of a single recent-issue DVD movie, its tough to replace a format that virtually everyone already owns the equipment to play, or raise the price on DVD movies to cover the additional cost of a higher resolution, even if the new DVDs can still be played on the old equipment. In this world a $300 player and a pricier $30 1080p DVD is for the carriage trade, not something for the mass market, and the mass market is happy running their $20 players and cheaper, lower resolution DVD's--that still look quite good even on a wide-screen TV, thank you. So the movie industry, which lives on volume, is not going to walk away from that for sure any time soon regardless of technical issues.
