There's been much hype about the "war" between Sony's Blu-Ray technology and the
HD-DVD technology of Toshiba. Both are hi-d digital video disc formats but then
factor that will reveal the results of the Smash Season 1
DVD
is what format will be most attractive to the
consumers.
Since the formats appeared in the market space (which the did
almost simultaneously), both have been a though sell to consumers because so far
it hasn't been clear which one will come on top on the format war. Naturally
both the Sony Company and that of Toshiba promotes their own standard heavily
through both advertising and through partners.
Repeating the Beta-max
versus. VHS warHowever it is generally agreed that there might be only one
format that will come out on top, and with memories of the format war between
the VHS and Beta-max video tapes no many Scandal
Season 1 dvd
ago, most individuals are waiting to see which
standard will win the battle. They fear so much getting burned by investing in
technology that will soon be outmoded.
The funny part is that it is the
customers that will determine the outcome but many await the outcome before
investing. Luckily there are some people that will always invest and the major
companies are spending enourmous amount to add trust to their particular brand
or technology.
How to bring to mind confidenceA central dilemma to both
The
Closer Season 7 dvd
is how to bring to mind enough confidence in
their own formats in order to encourage consumers that their format will be
around in the long haul and not end up like the Beta-max video did 2 decades
ago. The format question is really just a matter of perception by the consumers
on which technology that will win the war.
If consumers perceive one
format to be more likely to be around five years from now, they will buy
software titles and movie in that format and the machines to play that
particular format. When the movie studios and software companies see that
consumers like that format, be it Blu-ray or HD-DVD, they will publish more
titles in that format. When consumers see more a lot more titles in one format
than the other, they will gain even more confidence in that format and the "good
spiral" has initiated which will eventually determine that will win the format
war.
Blu-ray backed by Twentieth Century FoxRecently the major company
Twentieth Century Monk has announced that it will release numerous movie titles
in the Blu-ray format and that it thereby backs the format of Sony. Releasing
between five to ten titles per month, this is a major show of confidence in
Blu-ray's potential to be the winning format.
The steady stream of new
titles should provide anyone who is thinking of buying a Blu-ray player or who
already owns one with plenty of new movies to look forward to over the next
year. The direction towards the Blu-ray technology is good news for TV and
computer technology in general because of the technical advantages that Blu-ray
has over the HD-DVD format.
Superior quality doesn't always winOne of the
main benefits comes from the fact that even though they rely on similar types of
laser technology and are both about the same physical size, a HD-DVD cds can
only store fifteen gigabytes on each side for a total of only 30 gigabytes while
a Blu-ray compact disk can store up to twenty-five gigabytes of data on each
side for a total of fifty gigabytes. Unfortunately, the holder's decisions
aren't always in favor of the superior technology.
