With new discs such as blu-ray coming out that have the equivalent storage capacity of several discs and the ability to hold high definition video I was wondering:

When will studios start releasing movies on these discs?
How much will they cost (price range) or dollar increase?
Will old content be updated to high definition?
Will multiple full length dvd quality movies be put on one disc?
What new features will be added?
Which company will be the first?
What titles are already in the works or are first planned?
Etc?

"Will old content be updated to high definition?"

No, because Hi-def has to be shot with Hi-def equipment, you can't just 'update'.

However, increasing to a higher resolution might be a possibility.

I am perfectly content with porn on current DVDs.

I LIKE the idea of releasing back catalog with multiple movies on a single blu-ray or HD.

There is HUGE money to be made from back catalog that currently is not economically feasible by releasing single VHS-era titles on single DVDs.

The printed music scenario is very illustrative here.
Publishers can no longer afford to release single sheet music titles for most songs because they will never sell through. The old rule of thumb, before the Internet fucked everything up, was that you had to print 5,000 copies at a time and expect to sell-through in no more than five years to make it worthwhile.

Rather than abandon these songs forever (which regrettably is happening), collections of songs (referred to as "mixed folios") are still viable in books. Typically, a book will have 10-50 songs and sell for $12.95-24.95.
When a single sheet retails for $3.95, a book for $15.95 that has the song you want plus many others is just about ALL that is keeping 90+% of most popular back catalog music in print.

So, a $19.95-24.95 porn video, on blu-ray or HD, that contains four movies -- that will NEVER otherwise see the light of day again -- is good for everybody!
I believe we WILL spend $20 to get a movie we want, as I have described it here, regardless of what the other three titles on the disc are.
The beauty of this method, officially known as the "BigBobxxx-release-of-back-catalog-porn-protocol," is that there is a customer for EACH and ALL FOUR of the titles on the disc. Trust me.

I don't understand why we have to switch already from DVD to blu-ray. I mean it's not such a big step forward and they could have skipped it until there are discs where you can burn 100 Gig data.

Blu-ray can fit an entire feature-length movie on a disc in HD. DVD can't. Lots of people have HD-capable screens now. So it makes sense to get Blu-ray out soon.

I think I also read somewhere that quad-layer (perhaps with two 2-layer sides, but maybe readable entirely from one side, can't remember) Blu-Ray discs are in the works. Those would hold 100 GB

Wasn't "Vault of Whores" a single disc HD (the bonus 3rd disc)? Just watched this and with the exception of too much assfucking, it was a really great video.

Unlike shot on film material, which can be re-mastered in HD, material acquired using SD video gear can only be "up-rezzed", and likely by the time consumer HD playback is available, they machines will have uprezzing capablities onboard that rival anything a purpose build post-house blackbox can do now. Stick your DVD in the new machine and it will "uprez" on the fly. You'll probably even be able to ask it to stretch the image horizontally to get rid of the black curtains.

Whether or not this is happens, the demand for most older porn titles is so low it would never justify the expense of a second run of DVD, let alone uprezing and remastering/authoring to whatever consumer HD disc prevails.

Bob's idea makes the most sense, but even there sufficient demand is questionable.

What's next? Probably just plain downloading from the internet, once the "pipes" get wider.
