"Studios Strike

For Holiday 2005

With holiday shoppers gobbling up millions of popular DVDs over the we
ekend, Toshiba Corp. and three major movie studios are expected Monday
to announce plans to make new high-definition DVDs available by Chris
tmas 2005.
According to people familiar with the matter, the studios -- including
Viacom Inc.'s Paramount, General El

观点一：
This was not unanticipated and actually makes perfect sense in severa
l ways. First, HD DVD was doing a horrendous job of marketing itself,
to the extent that it was becoming an entirely untenable alternative.
Second, based upon Yamada? prior quotes, he was practically demanding/
begging for some kind of studio support before the HD DVD group would
shell out the additional monies for further development and production
.
If HD DVD refused to move forward further, the BDA would be in the env

观点二：
Of course - no studio will give such exclusivity in case they back th
e wrong horse. Don't even expect Warner to say "we will never release
a Blu-Ray Disc" or expect Columbia to say the same about HD-DVD. None
of the studios committed to DVD to that extent either during its launc
h phase (in fact, it took some studios nearly 2 years to commit to it
at all).
All I'm saying is that most things in Hollywood happen behind closed d

具体展开看
好莱坞现在看来想更加快的完成SD到HD的转变
这个估计和美国的HD display销售情况和HD广播增多有关系
在2005年Xmas之前要批量推出HD的title，从目前生产线的情况来看
HD DVD已经可以3秒压一张，90％的产出率，而且利用现有dvd生产线的技术
也成熟多时。
BD还没有能达到商业化要求的生产线，而且试验线的产出率公开的数据
是70％，并且无法利用现有的dvd压片线。如果要用BD出title
不计成本，那么05年还有可能，考虑成本，怎么也要到06年了
而且sony的大部分公关工作似乎都集中在CE厂家
收购了MGM，似乎也是绝望之举。
从今天的消息来看，支持Hd DVD的内容提供商份额要占
整个市场的45％，disney和fox都还在观望
但是sony这场战争不能输，
TWE和环球这个时候公布对HD DVD的支持，其实也是不想在最后的一年中
失去和BD联盟讨价还价的筹码。否则HD DVD在没有任何一家studio的承诺
下，不愿意再在硬件方面投入了。
当然偶决的关键在于消费者先选择那家。
新闻中说，环球 TWE paramount等要在05年年底前各自发行
