If you're a proponent of HD-DVD why are you? Is it that the players are inexpensive?

Question

1080p is that no matter the format but:

Porn won't win it. Vivid (the largest co.) supports BR. Generally tho, porn actrors have no interest in all their flaws displayed@ 1080p And producers want to move towards downloaded content anyhow. Cheaper to deliver when DVD sales have been slipping for years.

HD only has one exclusive backer: Universal. Everyone else is both or BR.

BR movies are outselling HD two to one. Who cares if the hardware is dirt cheap if no one is buying the software for it?

Is it that you've already invested in HD so HD is better? For the record I've bought neither. I'm still on the fence and haven't picked either. But everything I've read leans far to the BR camp.

So...make the case for HD. Why should I pick it?

Actually, no. Vivid supports both:

And that's not entirely true. Sony has no interest in working directly with adult video manufacturers, but they have no issue with third parties doing so:

The issue with finding a producer to work with them is primarily that the disc replication facilities have contracts to build the catalog of mainstream fare and there are simply no spare production ability to devote to porn.

Answer 1

I'm guessing it's the name similarity. Television is now HD, or high definition, and the consumers want to get the maximum from their DVD's so they buy HD DVD's.

Answer 2

I think you got it backward the Vivid support HD-DVD and BR actually doesn't want to get porn industry to use their format.
