MikeN Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 No more DVD's. Yet they still won't offer video download bundles. (Not to mention they still get CDs pressed... ) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmolnar Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) How does DCI not get some sort of license exemption? It’s a non-profit youth organization. I feel like that should be a lay-up for any half decent lawyer. Edited October 24, 2018 by jeffmolnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckham Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Not surprised DCI is dropping the DVD option. Everything eventually gets phased out. Considering that Blu-ray players have been available to consumers since 2003 and became fairly affordable by around 2008/2009 or so, and DCI starting offering finals on Blu-ray in 2009, I'm surprised it took this long. How far into the life cycle of the DVD medium did DCI stop offering VHS? Edited October 25, 2018 by Beckham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've talked that subject to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far into the life cycle of the DVD medium did DCI stop offering VHS? Actually, the first Bluray player went on sale to consumers in 2006. The first PROTOTYPE as released in 2003 in Japan. DVDs are no longer being released with Bluray combos anymore. DVD sales have been falling 3-6% since Bluray disc was released. I am also surprised it took this long, but I don't buy DCI excuse for keeping Bluray prices so high after all of these years. If small independent studios can license and release independent films and big studio films on Bluray - and it costs only $30 bucks, DCI can do the same thing.

For now, I wait a few years and pay $69 per BR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
