So I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about the battle between Sony and Toshiba, specifically, the issue of Blu-Ray vs Hi-Def.

From what I have gathered, since Toshiba has bowed out, hi-def will no longer be an option. Furthermore, Sony has said, "no porn on Blu-Ray."

If his facts are correct (I presume they are, this is his forte), what does this mean for adult video producers that have invested in Hi-Def?

What do you think will happen?

I don't even want to say it...

How long do you think the no porn on Blu will last?

Didn't Sony say no porn to BetaMax as well? Of course, that probably contributed to their demise since VHS welcomed it with open arms.

If you know something he doesn't, spill it.

Since Sony has the largest movie library on the planet, I don't see any reason for them to change their stance.

Do Sony own the rights to the Blu-Ray format?

If they do they have screwed everyone.....

That is my understanding, yes.

Well as my business partner is ex head of sony marketing asia,I can tell you 100 percent after speaking to him porn will be available on Blu-ray :thumbsup

What about this stuff? Just quick research, but obviously of the limited replicators able to do Blu-Ray... somebody didn't get the memo...

no matter what it will take some time to stream full screen hi def through the web....so it doesnt matter for us if no porn on blue ray....we are barely getting regular dvd in full screen online....unless its through iptv technology like our feeds ;-)

Just like with earlier video and streaming formats... people need to work on their compression structures, delivery codecs, and allow for some adaptation time.

Interesting

Was referring to discs, not Internet delivery.

Somebody asked a few days ago about 'True High Def' on sites.

MaxCash are VERY clear that we have 'Higher Def' video.

A few claimed they have TRUE High Def - Is that true?

Sony already blinked on their no porn on Blu-Ray position...

LFP (Hustler), Digital Playground and others have already released adult titles in that format.

I imagine Sony would have lost another format war if they nixed porn again.

It won't matter much in a few years anyway, with a new multitude of delivery options opening up...

ADG

well now that they won and they could reverse the decision to go with porn.You have to remember before there was hd dvd looming out there so bending made sense.The next few months should be interesting.

I cant see us delivering high def over the net - not in a few years anyway - If anyone wants porn in that format it will have to be on disc.

Has any porn been made in REAL high def?

Unless you have flaw fetish,you dont want to see porn in real hi def. lol

good point

lol - true - but not the point :)

What I think will happen is DVDs of any type will be finished in about a year or so.

Sony will allow porn on Blu-Ray disks

:thumbsup

Got to keep the slow, and non adaptors in mind though...

There are people out there who still have SD analog screens... actuals tubes (gasp), and may just be getting out of the habit of their VHS favorites and slowly into DVD.

DVDs will def be getting replaced, but a year is a lil quick to pronounce TOD.

For one thing, the Blu-ray Disc Assocation is not Sony :winkwink:

I spoke to a blu-ray rep at CES this year who told me that the rumor that there would be no blu-ray porn was blown out of proportion after a Disney replicating house stated they wouldn't work with adult content.

shrug

Did you just say Tubes? :mad::upsidedow - Wash your mouth out!

Is anyone pushing REAL High Def video?

I know... like where do I put the HDMI??? :Oh crap:Oh crap

interesting article the title is Ready to Buy Blu-ray? Better hit pause.

I know what you mean - I have spent over $500 on HDMI leads and adaptors - and I still stick them in random holes and hope for the best.

Fucked if I have seen anything in real High Def either.

I'd kill for a working firewire from my cable box.... so many workarounds to make it happen it's driving me nuts.

What if they gave a victory and nobody came?
It really puts it in prospective.

No, it really doesn't, IMHO. Watch by Christmas prices will have dropped enough to make it affordable to everyone.

That doesnt mean they are going to buy them. My younger sister still loves VHS.People dont always adapter as fast as retail wants them too.

When was the last time you saw a VHS tape for sale or rent?

Quoted for truth!! Thats what I said a long time ago.. I have even heard some of the girls say they do not want to be shoot in HiDef.. There are sometimes the picture adding a little fuzzyness is better...

Back to the original question: Anyone who invested in Hi-Def needs to cut his losses and go to Blu-Ray. Sometimes you just have to go with the crowd.

thats a good question... I bet they will allow it
