Your Future with DVD


If you love movies and feel like you would rather own a film than rent it, DVD is the way for you. The price is very affordable for DVD software. Movies range from $9.99 to $29.99 per disc depending on how many discs are included and the extra features. Warner Bros. offers an affordable line of discs that offer no extras and cost approximately $14. A special edition of the HBO series From The Earth To The Moon costs $100, but you get the entire run of the series and a DVD-ROM with plenty of extra features. With DVD, there's pretty much something for everyone's budget.

Players are very affordable right now. There is a player for everyone's price range and there is no sacrifice in quality when you enter the DVD arena. You can buy an entry-level player for less than $300 and still be very pleased with the results. Coupled with the affordability of sound systems and speakers and you can build your own theater in your own home for around $1000.

There is discussion about the availability of certain titles. In the past there have been some holdouts to DVD, namely Disney and FOX, but both have joined the revolution. Disney is slower than the other studios and has not completely released their Masterpiece cartoon library into the DVD format, but they continually add 4 to 8 titles a month. FOX has moved to release their full library on DVD. To prove their devotion to DVD, FOX released one of the best special edition discs on the market with the movie Alien.

Every other studio and many other smaller companies have gone digital as well. Columbia/Tristar, Warner Bros. and Universal all regularly put out great discs. Laserdisc companies like The Criterion Collection, Pioneer and Elite also release DVD with the same quality and care they put into their laserdiscs.

Never in the history of a new technology have the studios, critics or buyers embraced a home entertainment technology like they have with DVD. The future of DVD looks to shine even brighter in the days to come.
