MOVIE
STUDIOS BEGIN TO SUPPORT D-VHS
JVC's D-VHS has gained a major vote of support
from
the movie industry with the announcement
that
four
Hollywood movie studios
will
be releasing films
onto its high-definition format. The
studios,
which include Twentieth Century Fox,
Universal
Studios
and DreamWorks SKG, are all expected to
release films in 2002 onto the high
security
portion of the D-VHS format known as D-Theater.
With
a maximum storage space of 44GB compared to
DVD's
18GB, D-VHS is being touted as the only
format that can offer a true
high-definition
home entertainment
experience.
Now I would like the studios explain to the
millions
of consumers that have bought a DVD player that they now need an £800 VCR
to
watch the latest releases!
