Next-Generation DVD Technology Assessment: Everyone Is Blue in the FaceProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: December 2004 Product Code: R104-17996 Description
This IDC study investigates the leading blue-laser technologies competing to become the next-generation standard in DVD. As the two leading technologies, HD-DVD and Blu-ray, hurtle toward a format war, it is necessary to investigate what each vision offers for the future of DVD. The biggest obstacle this market faces, aside from high price points, is the format war that it seems destined to suffer. "As HDTVs continue to find their way into living rooms, there is a pressing need for prerecorded HD content to allow consumers take full advantage of their purchase. However, adoption will be limited at best until the format war concludes." ? Joshua S. Martin, associate research analyst, Consumer Markets Table of Contents
