You know Steve, in today's world of opportunity and avenues of financial gain, there STILL remain companies that simply don't realise the benefits of selling DVD's to a GLOBAL consumer base.
The amount of money the adult industry has made because of the easy distribution for dvd's worldwide (as opposed to VHS) should have given a SMALL clue to companies such as ROSEBUD, JM PRODUCTIONS and SEYMORE BUTTS. All 3 companies have a collection of great films that have yet to see the light of dvd. (Rosebud are releasing crap 80's stuff, Seymore is releasing 30 min. discs ????? and JM has released nothing for months).
The future of porn is dvd and we should all support companies that try to give us their best product (Evil Angel, Red light and West Coast to name a few).
You can add Anabolic/Diabolic to the list of companies falling behind others. They have not released anything on disc in months. Their web sites have not been updated properly in months. They used to release 5 discs a month, but lately nothing. Maybe all of those defective discs that would not play and got returned have finally caught up to them. I also noticed that when they were releasing discs regularly, they would put out old garbage features that were like 3 or 4 years old like that stupid Vampire flick, the Backdoor To City Of Sin, the Ski Lodge one, Little Magicians, etc. etc. all garbage. They should have been releasing the Nasty Nympho series (none of which are on dvd) and their other good gonzo stuff, not features that are 3 to 4 years old, that suck, and that no one wants on VHS, nevermind dvd. But they make the best gonzo porn out there. Does anybody know why they have not released anything in the past few months? I know that their excuse for the web site is that they lost their webmaster to somebody else, but why have they not been releasing dvd's lately? Anybody know?
Yes Anabolic/Diabolic are still making new releases on VHS like Balls Deep 4,Gangbang Auditions 8,2 on 1 11,Lewd Conduct,Gangbang Girl (I don't remenber the # of the last two)...and If you ask me Gangbang Auditions and 2 on 1 are the best of the bunch but What I would like to know is why don't they make dual releases of at least a couple of their series like EVIL ANGEL does,I HATE to wait 6,8 weeks for the DVD.
Yeah and all those companies you mentioned are also having problems with their websites. I think they just don't get it. editing these movies with some composition software would take one almost no time if they were using digital cams. I think most companies are using canons now and the software wouldn't be too much and maybe take a week of training and then only about 8hours editing and composing for a great looking DVD. they could release them on the same day.
