Videos and DVD’sDVD’s, Blu-rays are top sellers on the internet and offline as well. And New DVD, Blu-ray releases are released weekly by all major studios, (typically released on Tuesdays of every week).
With the advent of Blu-ray releases, studios now rely on both Blu-ray and DVDs to supplement their revenue for a particular movie. HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc were released as the successor to DVD. HD DVD competed successfully with Blu-ray Disc in the format war. |

However, unlike previous format changes, there is no immediate indication that production of the standard DVD will gradually wind down, as they still dominate, with around 75% of video sales and approximately one billion DVD player sales worldwide.
In fact, experts claim that the DVD will remain the dominant medium. Yet it is still commonplace for major releases to be issued in "combo pack" format, including both a DVD and a Blu-ray disc. Furthermore, a large majority of consumers are satisfied with DVDs. And the DVD succeeded because it offered a compelling alternative to VHS. |
And when it comes to home entertainment, home video DVD’s out sell feature films and movies. The incredible success of DVD video has propelled home video to become America’s most popular entertainment medium, surpassing consumer spending on movie tickets, music and mass-market books.
According to the DVD Entertainment Group, consumers spent more than twice as much buying and renting DVDs as they did going to the movies.
DVD now represents 75 percent of home video consumer spending, driven by DVD retail sales which increased to over $9 billion.
Consumers spent an additional $3 billion renting DVDs, bringing total DVD spending to $12 billion. Simply put, DVD’s are top sellers online and offline as well.
