Sony won't let them press the BD discs.

Not gonna happen! This post was about last year. They are all united with HD DVD now.

Vivid, which generates $100 million in sales annually, told TVPredictions.com last November that it would release its debut HDTV DVD on Blu-ray first and HD-DVD later

Steve Hirsch confirmed again last night on CNBC that it would release Debbie Does Dallas...Again on Blu-ray and HD-DVD.

Please read the entire article and note the date.

But a Vivid spokeswoman today said Debbie Does Dallas...Again will be released in both formats on the same day.

It is very possible, and actually likely, that Steve Hirsch PLANS to release on Blu-ray but has not yet contacted a BD replicator to have his hat handed to him.


The only other possibility in light of the statements by a US Sony rep on this forum is that there may be a replicator in Japan that is more open-minded.

I would say it is a 50-50 they will print on blu-ray. G4 t.v. had AEE coverage last night and when they interviewed Vivid girls there was a banner in the background which clearly had blu-ray and hd-dvd labeled on whatever movie the banner was for.

If he's announced a specific specific title with a release date, he's not only contacted them, he's already scheduled production.

Just saw a video clip and he stated Vivid was able to find a replicator but it was "difficult and they tried to block us".

True one porn title for blu-ray thats it . I believe if they keep getting **** for this they will leave not worth the extra hassle and money. Plus does anyone like dealing with someone that thinks you are beneath them?

I thought the most interesting comment I saw was at the end when he said that the adult industry is in flux right now where it used to be that 90% of their business was DVD and this year it will be 40% (I think he even said less than 40%). I'm guessing online is becoming a bigger portion, but he didn't make that clear.

Or the fact that all but one studio will start producing HD movies for HD-DVD lets say 30 percent will go to HD DVD the rest online pron.

I'd like to see a price on that if/when it comes out.


It may give some idea how much the Sony subsidy is for Blu-ray manufactured discs.

If we could get prices for disc replication it could be interesting. But with movies priced at $49.95 or so, they could take a couple dollar hit per disc without changing the retail price at all. Not that I think it is a couple of dollars for what they are likely to use (a BD25). Heck, the first HD DVD looks like it takes less than 8GB for the movie and they could have used an HD9. As I said elsewhere, I wonder if some of these porn studios will release on HD9s and BD9s. Might make it easier.

Ironically, it seems the porn people are more likely to use interactive features.

I think the extra space would be beneficial to them.


P.S. Does anyone beyond porn studios use alternate angles?

Out of about 600 DVD's that I own the only one I can think of that has multiple angles is a Metallica concert boxed set. And its only there for 3 songs.

Lagosian,


Vivid encountered the very same resistance from Blu-ray replicators, but was eventually able to get someone to do it.
