[Bill Davis] “DVD? Really. That’s the level the CEO is stuck at? Plastic discs for a meeting. Wow.”
I’m not sure what market you work in but most Fortune 500 companies conference rooms are still based around DVD players and RGBHV (that’s VGA for you non-technical types). They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on automated conference rooms and are not quick to adopt and upgrade to new technologies. Additionally DVD is a format that the video can be distributed in that has almost universal acceptance.
[Bill Davis] “If the CEO had a clue, he would have simply ended his presentation with a slide containing a QR code – and told anyone wanting a link to the video to take a picture of it with their phones.”
Once again most executives for Fortune 500 companies are using company Blackberry phones which are locked down tightly with security and downloading a QR code reader is just not an option.
