Upward and Onward for DVD

While the DVD player market will grow steadily over the next several years, questions remain regarding high capacity DVD, which has yet to be commercialized, high-fidelity/multichannel audio formats, and recordable DVD formats. This report provides five-year forecasts for DVD players with DVD-Audio and/or SACD, DVD players, and DVD recorders. A discussion of DVD components follows with five-year bill of materials projections.
