If you have been to your local consumer electronics store recently, you probably noticed new DVD players prominently displayed throughout the store.  The new DVD players promise to take full advantage of the high-definition flat panel televisions that have been embraced by the public. 

As consumers, we are presented with a choice,  Blu-Ray or HD-DVD?  The scenario may sound eerily familiar to anyone over 35.  We were confronted with a similar choice for our VCR’s in the 80’s,  VHS or beta?  Eventually, one format won out over the other.  The technologies deliver similar picture quality with the major electronic manufacturers and movie studios equally divided among the 2 camps.

My suggestion, wait until after Christmas.  Sony is launching their new game console, the PlayStation3, in November.  The unit comes with a Blu-Ray DVD player built in and a price tag lower than the existing players currently in the market.  The prices for these 2 new technologies will start to dramatically fall and an industry leader should begin to emerge.

At Video Openhouse, we are committed to being industry leaders, implementing the latest technologies.  Currently, our video is captured in high-definition, wide-screen format.  We are prepared to offer HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD’s when our clients demand high definition video on DVD.
