FORMAT WARS

from The Hollywood Saloon · host Andy Siems John Jansen

In the beginning there was VHS and it was good. Followed by LaserDisc, that was even better.. Then the sell-through market came marching home and movie collecting was never the same. Jump ahead to DVD which proved to be the biggest and best format yet. But the battle for video supremacy is not over yet, as HD DVD begins knocking on the door of the consumer. But in a replay of the early 80s video wars, HD is entering the ring swinging with both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disc. Two systems. One format. Who will survive? Who will care? Join Andy and John as they dive deep into the video format madness and provide some answers for the next wave of video collecting.
