BLU-RAY DISC NEWS
Long live DVD... for five more years
=20
Posted October 23, 2008 at 12:09 PM=20
By John Couture <http://videoeta.com/about/staff/john.html>=20
I was sitting in a meeting the other day, and someone mentioned that=20
Adams Media Research <http://www.adamsmediaresearch.com/> , a well
respected research firm in the home entertainment world, predicts that
DVD will die a swift death sometime in 2013. That's five years from now.
I could drone on and on about Blu-ray market penetration trends and DVD
adoption models and how they translate to the current situation, but the
point of all that would be simply that DVD is already considered to be a
mature product line and Blu-ray will inevitably replace the DVD much
like DVD replaced VHS, CDs replaced cassette tapes and so on.
This wasn't the first time that I've heard these estimates or the idea
that Blu-ray will ultimately replace DVD, but it's the first that it
sunk in that DVDs might be as hard to find in 2013 as VHS is to find
today. And now that it's sunk in, I think the data crunchers might be a
wee bit ahead of themselves on this one.
The more I started to think on this, the more reasons I came up with as
to why I think DVD will survive its impending death. If it interests
you, I've included my thoughts below.
1. This 2013 projection relies too heavily on the VHS model=20
It is only natural for researchers to use the DVD vs. VHS data
when projecting the Blu-ray vs. DVD scenario, but it's not all comparing
apples to apples. When it came to DVD vs. VHS, DVD was the vastly
superior format in many ways. DVD was more durable than VHS, easier to
store, allowed for special features and more content in the same box and
the quality difference between DVD and VHS was so vast that anyone who
saw a DVD could easily admit that it was better than VHS.=20
When comparing Blu-ray to DVD, the main differences are increased visual
and audio quality and more space on the disc to allow for more features
to be included in the box. Unfortunately, the quality differences
between Blu-ray and DVD are minor when compared to the quality
differences between DVD and VHS. Also, according to Adams, while the
number of HD homes in America will rise to 84% in 2012, only about 55%
of US households will be using HDTV.
In other words, only half of America will be taking advantage of the
increased quality of high def TV over standard def TV. If that's the
case, why would you expect a higher percentage to choose the higher def
disc over the "standard def" disc?=20
2. Blu-ray players are backwards compatible=20
Unless you have one of those DVD/VHS combo players, you can't
play your VHS tapes on the same machine that you play your DVD movies.
Blu-ray players, however, play DVD movies just fine.=20
As someone with a vast DVD library, this was a big factor in my decision
to enter the Blu-ray realm. As a bonus, most (if not all) Blu-ray
players automatically upconvert DVDs to near HD quality.
As a result, this means that I am less likely to replace my DVD copy
with a Blu-ray version of the said movie automatically. Of course, I did
have to get The Fifth Element <http://videoeta.com/movie/266> on
Blu-ray, despite having it on every format imaginable already.=20
3. Not all movies deserve Blu-ray treatment=20
Recently, Warner Bros. announced that Dumb and Dumber
<http://videoeta.com/movie/302> was coming out on Blu-ray. No, really,
it is. Far be it for me to debate the merits of a Jim Carrey
<http://videoeta.com/person/13> movie being fit for Blu-ray, but
suffice it to say, there's really not much of a difference between
seeing it on DVD vs. Blu-ray. It's not going to make the fart jokes
funnier.
=20
4. The cost and technology are a barrier to entry for some.=20
Granted, we are getting to a point where people are finally
getting technologically savvy enough to be dangerous, but Blu-ray is
another beast altogether.=20
Currently, the high cost of entry is prohibiting mass adoption of
Blu-ray, but there are rumblings
<http://www.tvsnob.com/archives/022212.php> that Blu-ray players might
cross under that magical price point of $200 as early as next month. Of
course, these entry level machines are not created equal as they are
(for the most part) on DVD.
Two of the more compelling arguments in favor of Blu-ray are also two of
the most technologically advanced features. They both require internet
connectivity, if not constant connection. The first is the ability to
update Blu-ray firmware automatically through the Internet connection.
The second is the exciting BD-Live feature that allows viewer to
download more content after buying the Blu-ray disc, as well as interact
with other owners of the movie.
Both of these features are sometimes lacking from entry-level players
and even when they are available, the process of connecting to the
Internet from a stand-alone player isn't all too intuitive.
The Sony PS3 is really the key here as its dual function as a game
system allows for constant Internet connection and ease of updates.
Although currently, the PS3 trails the XBOX 360 in market penetration
and the PS3 has yet to hit that magical $200 price point.=20
At the end of the end, five years from now, only then will we truly be
at a place where we can say with any sort of certainty what the 2013
will bring. But, as someone who has already replaced most, if not all,
of my VHS with DVDs, I'm not looking forward to going through the
process again so quickly.
