A negative example: PervCity DVDs now are only single-layer DVD-R... apparently they don't deem it financially feasible making a normal run with pressed DVDs.

| snufish Member 580 Posts 4/14 |  Posted - Jul 27 2020 : 4:51PMDVDs released in the last 3-4 years should be able to be purchased in 2020. Are they only doing one run then no more? a particular DVD is basically unavailable on the major sites but selling for $40 from one seller on ADM. After the first run shouldn't it be pure profit now? what's the deal? I've seen the prices DVD replicators charge, it's not expensive. If all the copies in the first run sold in 3 years, isn't that good? Couldn't they licence it to other studios similar to how Hollywood studios give small distributors unpopular titles? or is it stores are pushing them towards VOD while paying 20c on the dollar?

| AngryPirate Senior Member 3210 Posts 8/17 | Posted - Jul 31 2020 : 8:26AM Perhaps you're right, some studios may be moving on from DVD. The costs associated with DVD pressing may simply not be worth it for them today as streaming and download options are far more prevalent than 15 years ago. [Link] |
| lex von v Senior Member 2511 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Jul 31 2020 : 12:04PM No, there's absolutely no extra content on the PC dvds. Since it's single layer, bitrate is already very low, you get a DVD-R of questionable durability, not sure if the cover is at least offset-printed or some homemade inkjet stuff. And about bonus materials: forget it. DVD these days is the end of the marketing chain, put out for those who don't have (broad enough) internet. They do promote them occasionally on their twitter, though, so it's not totally under the radar.
But: it's not that mainstream DVDs aren't in trouble, too. Just read through various DVD forums, thedigitalbits.com etc: lots of back catalog titles are not released at all or released as disc-on-demand (DVD-R), and with more and more people opting for streaming, it's not likely to change. And with mainstream DVDs, there's also the case where titles get out-of-production, and you can only find them on ebay where the seller charges an arm and a leg for it. [Link] |

Some lesser known films are only available via small batch runs via services like Warner Archive. Classic porn fans (1970s-early 80s) also prefer blu over DVD but the cost of releasing films on blu is apparently rather steep so companies like Vinegar Syndrome only release select titles on blu and the lesser known titles on DVD. The market for classic porn though is smaller than say the trash horror films they also put out. I would guess these days the audience for gonzo porn may even be smaller than the audience for classics? [Link] |
