Who Will Win? Let Porn Be Our Guide
There is a new format war at hand. Like the epic battle between VHS and Betamax we find two new contenders for the title of The New Video Format.
In one corner we have the HD-DVD, able to hold between 15-45 GB of High Definition video and data content. And in the other corner we have Blu-Ray, similar optical storage technology supported by Sony.
But HD-DVD is the favorite to win, especially now that the pornography industry has chosen sides. A Japanese company by the name of GLAY’z has just released the very first adult HD-DVD. It’s no secret that it was the adult entertainment industry that hoisted VHS on its shoulders leaving Betamax in the dust. The porn business has always been at the forefront of technology, looking for ever faster, cheaper ways to distribute their content. We can also thank them for popularizing cd-roms,pay-per-view television and online secure payments.
Hollywood has started releasing dual DVD/HD-DVD’s and Mission Impossible III will be the first film to be released on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray simultaneously. But with supporters like Microsoft, Intel, Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures and now the Adult Entertainment Industry in the HD-DVD camp, I think we have a winner.
