High-def DVD battle heats up
By Behind The Scenes TV on Oct 31, 2007 in DVD
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment worldwide president and Blu-ray Disc proponent Bob Chapek on Tuesday blasted the rival HD DVD camp for prolonging the format war when it is clear that Blu-ray is the odds-on favorite.
“Blu-ray’s competition’s attempts to sell less than the best will inevitably be trumped by what we stated from the very beginning: That the Blu-ray technology is not a half-step format that will sell consumers short, but rather it is a revolutionary technology that will change the way we view movies for the long term,” Chapek said near the conclusion of a two-day Blu-ray Festival in Hollywood.
“And we firmly believe that revolutionary technology, my friends, is indisputably, undeniably and inevitably Blu-ray.”
