As you may, or may not know, there is a huge controversy over what will be the next standard DVD format. Toshiba’s HD-DVD and Sony’s Blu-ray discs will both offer expanded storage, greater security, and improved video quality over standard DVD. The question is what content producers are going to go with what format? Not only that, but for what format will the big electronics companies be producing players?
Vivid Entertainment has chosen not to take sides, but rather to publish their films on both formats. “Vivid is not in the business of choosing one format over the other,” Vivid CEO Steven Hirsch told DailyTech. “We are content producers and will distribute our movies on whatever formats are available. We will produce and let the consumer decide which format they like best.”
Other adult film studios have started to choose one format over the other. Digital Playground has chosen to exclusively produce their films for Sony’s Blu-ray discs, citing the fact that the format is playable on the upcoming Playstation 3 console.
