Interesting read. There's also a couple comments on [invalid URL removed]The Digital Bits 1/14 column taht I found really interesting, such as the adult industry selling way more titles than the mainstream does.

I suggest we get Tony C to settle this for us right now. He's a bit of a geek for this stuff.

C'mon, give Tony a little more credit. He's quite a bit of a geek for a lot more than just this stuff!

ok, I'll give Tony grief and some credit. I wish they'd settle this nonsense soon.

I would also like to see someone decide on DVI vs HDMI vs component connectors too.

I think the second article is on the right track.

People understand the word DVD. And now that there is the whole TV going to HD by whatever year it is people will just think HD-DVD is the logical next step.

If porn ends up having an impact on what will be the next disc technology, it will most definitely be HD-DVD.
There are a few porn studios already shooting movies for HD-DVD. As far as Blue Ray is concerned, I haven't heard boo about anyone even considering shooting anything specifically for this technology yet. HD-DVD has the head start, if it takes hold in the porn market the games over for Blue Ray.

The only differences between HD-DVD and Blue-Ray are DVD disc format. (laser, frequency, shit like that)

I don't think video has to be shot differently to satisfy one disc type or the other, it's all done post-production at the transfer stage. Just like you can shoot content for a VHS, Beta or DVD now.

If you have a spare hour or two ask Tony C.

They are shooting in High Definition which could then be released eventually on any next gen format . For now they'll be released on Windows Media DVD which is not HD-DVD .
HD-DVD is yet to launch .

Wow , guess AVN's staff really are as missinformed as I'd suspected . Both HD-DVD and Blue Ray are going to need changes to the DVD replication lines , in the case of HD-DVD slightly less , but the added cost to BR is likely to be around 1 0r 2 cents per disc . Not all that earth shatering in a $20 product !

blu-ray will win because more companies are going to use it, and PS3 will be blu-ray.
It is also better quality
