It seems like the fight between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disks is a replay of the fight between VHS and BetaMax tapes from a couple decades ago.
VHS was 'chosen' by the porn industry and while most argued that BetaMax was the better technology, VHS players popularity exploded after the adult film industry began to release tapes on VHS.
Currently the most influential movie studios are releasing movies on Blu-Ray. A couple studios are releasing on Blu-Ray AND HD-DVD formats. And some are only releasing on HD-DVD.
Sony and Disney studios are backers of the Blu-Ray high definition disks which many consider to be the superior standard. However both studios also refuse to allow their movie titles to be replicated on machines/by firms that also replicate 'adult' films. In doing so, it appears that the porn industry may be adopting HD-DVD.
Is the consumer demand for 'adult' films so strong that it will sway the technology to one format or the other???
