I can see companies not creating trailers because of the cost to make, host and server power and bandwidth to distribute them.
note: Private does have trailers for their newer films.

| mackie Member 23 Posts 10/04 |  Posted - Mar 8 2005 : 8:54AMI usually won't buy a movie unless I can at least view some pics and preferably the trailer. I've found that I've been buying a lot of Evil Angel, DVSX, and Digital Playground stuff lately and I started thinking about why I don't have more studio variety and it dawned on me that these 3 studio sites are where I frequent because I can view the trailers for a lot of their movies. After I view them I get interested in the movie and buy. I've been to several other sites, like Private, Platinum X, and Red Light but there's no trailers available for free (or very few) so I don't buy cause I have no indicator of what the movie's going to be like. Part of the genius of Jules Jordan is to offer some free pics and stuff on his site. i often go there, see some of the free stuff pics, and whattyaknow I'm buying the movie the pics are from. i would think that more studios would offer free trailer views for their movies. It seems it would only increase potential sales. Anybody else like viewing the trailer before purchase? [Link] |

| TonyC Comstock Films 2523 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Mar 8 2005 : 2:27PM If you're a company like Evil Angel (or Dreamworks), companies which make products that appeal to a wide range of people and have strong upside potential, then putting money into getting the word out makes sense – the more people see what E.A. is doing, the more discs they're going to sell. (Take a look how easy E.A. makes it for even the most casual visitor to their Web site to spend a whole afternoon looking at trailers.) If you're a specialist catering to a niche market, or if the upside of your product is limited by lower quality, then there's a limit to how many units you're going move, regardless of how many people know what you have to offer. When you've got a niche', low volume product, giving casual porn surfers a free taste isn't going to translate into sales at the same rate as your bandwidth charges. Conversely, ever businessman knows your returning customer is the easiest sale. As long as you maintain your level of quality (whatever that may be) your repeat customers are going to keep coming back. Their satisfaction with their earlier purchases is better marketing than any trailer. Speaking of trailers and freebies, we've just put up a preview of our next release: <bXana and Dax: When Opposites Attract Enjoy! -T.C. [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Mar 8 2005 : 11:26PM This is just a guess and I'm not sure if Copyright laws are among those that work this way, but... It could be due to some weird laws in the US that sometimes say that if you let one person do something, you give up the right to prevent someone else from doing the same thing. So, if they allow you to put portions of their movie on your site, even though you are not profiting from it and are uising it to sell their product, they can't go after other sites that are pirating their movie and costing them sales.

| TonyC Comstock Films 2523 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Mar 9 2005 : 6:29AM However, you can "let" someone do something (like post a trailer or clip) without giving up your right to deny other people. That's how licensing works. -T.C. [Link] |
| Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04 | Posted - Mar 9 2005 : 12:47PM And for small parts of a work (like screenshots or a 30 second trailer) there are even 'fair use' rights: if you do a review of a book or a movie you can quote parts (size depending on a lot of things) of it without breaking copyrights. That has been well established in courtcases all over the world.

| spitty Member 730 Posts 12/04 | Posted - Mar 18 2005 : 3:41PM It would also be nice to have more substance in these trailers , as well. In other words , don't waste half the trailer showing credits, special effects , darkness , and other useless things. A 90 second trailer can't substitute for the whole video. WE will still want to see the rest of it. [Link] |

| TomLeykisFan Member 66 Posts 3/05 | Posted - Mar 23 2005 : 11:33AM For us that have shitty 56K modems you can't watch the trailers streaming...I would suggest having the option to download the files. Thanks...and the same question for Platinum X Pictures. It's too bad cuz both companies offer a wonderful product. [Link] |
