I agree with Mark, the price for Blu-ray players has dropped a lot. If I purchase a disc it will be on Blu-ray but I don’t purchase movies very often. The last movie I bought was Inception. However, with a promo code you can rent a new release blu-ray disc for a day for the price of a candy bar. In my mind that is a great value. As for what our clients want, blank blu-ray discs are still a lot of money compared to blank DVDs, so most clients only want it on a DVD…….that is if they want it on any disc at all. I would say that 95% of the videos I do only go on TV or the web. The cloud will replace discs in the United States in my opinion. I have a bunch of old tapes of films I made with my friends growing up. In stead of putting them on a disc I decided that Vimeo is a better place for them. I don’t have to worry about damaged tapes or disc once I’m done digitizing them.
