Adult Film Industry Moving To HD DVD 527

Posted by kdawson from the BetaMax-deja-vu dept.
profet writes "One of the heavyweights in the war between BlueRay and HD DVD has chosen its format. Various members of the adult film industry have decided on HD-DVD. The article says the reasons seem to be based primarily on cost of manufacturing. History has shown that the porn industry can be a driving factor for technology, as it was in deciding for the VHS format over BetaMax." Heise reports that US BlueRay press plants are refusing the adult industry's business (in German).

1.) DVD = Digital Versitile Disk, not Variable Disk

2.) ct2600 does not offer info on 'hacked' webistes nor am I sure when he means about 'software tools and repairs'.

3.) ct2600 does not offer the theme he mentions. Obviously he went to both my personal site and ct2600 and got them mixed up.

This reporter did not talk to me at all. He did talk to my lawyer, but maybe he should have talked to someone else or at least he should have gotten the damn DVD ref. correct.

Oh well...
