What is the reason Anabolic/Diabolic new releases start out on VHS only majority of the time? I would buy more titles if they were on DVD when they came out.

I appologize! It was not trying to do that.
Ana/Diabolic is still my favorite porn-company. My life would be dull without Gangbang Girl,Gangbang Audition, Up Your Ass,Un-natural Sex... I aware they first need to get many new directors. I only as others stated here many times before, would with faster dvd-release. Actually I would wish 1 porn tape from both sister-companies a day. But that is not possible,I know.
Cal444: My name in private live is Sergej. I like your posts and info. But I also like discussion if I dont like something. Only critique and discussion makes things better. Let me just say: I LOVE your porn talents when they spread their legs forme customer. Your company sure also cares about presenting them attractive normally.
It's going to the authoror tomorrow I'm not sure about turnaround but it's within the not too ridiculous future. Ana/Dia will achieve simultanious at some point. we had a huge back log of titles and we have to be six months ahead of the release schedule to get it, we're working on it.
Cal: Don't you love it when they back-pedal? Well, I've dished out the tough love, too, so I think I understand, but with so much war and hate in the world, I choose this moment only to love.
I, too, eagerly await the first of the "new-school" Ana/Dia DVDs with xxxtras!!!! I spent $100 (ouchie) on VHS tapes from your organization in the last month, and they were mostly 4-star endeavors (Sweet Cheeks 3 didn't do it for me, sadly; maybe the RonK pod people are making me into double-everything fan, so not even the mighty Erik the Everhard is enough by himself alone, to put the whammy-jammy on the Sex Slaves of Wankerdom).
Can you tell me, what will be the first of those deluxxx DVD titles, so I can be on the lookout? Even if you don't know when, do you know what?
I'm doing my best to bring it to you big, bad, warts and all. Only thing is that fuckin delay time between clear of the edit bay and on your shelf at home. We've been doing some cool stuff but you guys haven't seen it yet. Kind of frustrating for me but we're clearing up the delay time so it should work it's self out in the near future. It's like the last 8 titles I've edited are heavy DVD xxxTras. We're going to show you some stuff when it gets there.
Cal444 Somewhere beat me with your rhythm stick I'm peddling as fast as I can.
Cal, You make this excuse as if Ana/Dia are the only companies that ever made a movie prior to the creation of DVD. Why is it that your company is the only one who seems to have a problem with the concept of releasing DVD's within a time frame of less than a year of the VHS release?
Ana/Dia's owners made a bad decision that they wanted to convert all of thier catalog titles to DVD before they began releasing new stiff on DVD. After realizing that it was bad idea, they becams stubborn and decided that they would stick to their original plan.
The fact that their customers don't really care about the catalog stuff as much as they want new releases to be available on DVD is completely irrelevant to owners os Ana/Dia. It's their company and they will do it the way they want to do it. Fuck the customers.
However true this is Bill, you can hardly expect Cal to come here and say 'yes, my bosses have fucked up, what a bunch of idiots!'. Most people like to keep their jobs and I'm sure Cal is no exception.
Do you know the saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything"? Well, the same goes for telling the truth. If you can't tell the truth, then don't say anything.
If Cal want to keep making up bullshit lies, he should challenged whenever he does so.

I used to really love Anabolic/Diabolic, until I got a DVD player. Now I don't watch your new stuff at all. I refuse to pay rental or purchase fees for clunky VHS tapes. It's just not gonna happen. Here's a thought, hire another authorer for the catalog/backlog and just work those as a separate project. Then adjust the production/release cycle to accomodate simultaneous VHS/DVD releases. Or alternatively, you can just continue to watch your business go down the drain as you lose market share to RLD, Evil Angel, Hustler, DVSX, Zero Tolerance, Platinum X and whatever other upstart competitors emerge in the next year while you guys are still trying to get your act together.
From this day forward I'll no longer respond to any simultanious questions, my last word on the subject is when we're doing it, you'll know it. We take care of the customer with consistant quality product, I wouldn't call that fucking anybody.
You know I thought about it and the ultimate responsibility for us becoming simultanious rests on my shoulders. I'm the one that needs to get our post production ahead enough so it all can be relesased at the same time. There happy now? Beat me with a club, make me eat skank box, never invite me to the party any more. It's me, it's all me. The buck stops here.
..Ok, Cal, fuck the dual releases, never mind that shit, I don't think that is ever gonna happen in my life time. ..But my friend could you do something about the loooong waiting between the vhs and the actual dvd release? ...I mean is a terrible thing you guys are doing to many, many of your fans. ...There are so many people that will have to wait 5-6 months to have the chance and see all the great stuff that you are releasing these days on VHS, like Gangbang Auditions #9. Un-Natural Sex #9, 2 on 1 #14. ...at least the waiting should be shorter, ..I don't know but 2 months could be beareable. ..to wait almost half of year is just ludicrous my friend.
I'm sure Cal is dancing as fast as he can. At this stage, I have learned to stop worrying and just hope that when the DVDs arrive, the extras will have been worth waiting for. Personally, I can't see the point of raging about it anymore. I'd rather beat off to a live whore than beat a dead horse, or something like that, and Ana/Dia have the liveliest whores ['ve ever seen on video ... urp! Make that DVD ... and soon, please!!
MOD: Due to the great deviation from the title of this thread, I'm locking it.
For whatever reason that Anabolic can not release their DVDs within a reasonable amount of time to their VHS release, it will hurt them in the long run. Consumers will just vote with their dollars. They are well aware of this criticism.
