Home Entertainment Revenue

[Eastcoasthandle]

Here's the break down:

Home entertaintment revenue which includes DVD and Blu-ray sales, rentals, video-on-demand and digital downloads and streaming, fell 3.2% in the third quarter to $4 billion.

Blu-ray sales are $161 million which is 4% of the home-entertainment industry's revenue.

Rental revenue rose 9.9% in the three-month period ending Sept. 30. Up from 8.3% growth from the 1st half of the year

Blu-ray disc sales account for 66.3% in the quarter vs 91% growth in the first half of the year indicating a decline.

DVD and Blu-ray sales were $1.98 billion. Rental revenue was $1.57 billion last quarter.

Digital distribution (online downloads and streaming) rose 18%, down slightly from 21% in the first six months with $420 million worth of revenue

It looks like (so far) that DD (Digital Distribution) has exceeded BR by a significant amount.

My boss at work didn't even know hulu, or Tvshack existed. Much less that his new PC also serves as a Media Center, with HDMI output, and surround sound, and he can get a tuner card, or that he can use his laptop to control it wirelessly on his porch. I didn't want to make his head explode with anything else.

For those NooBs watch out for TvShack popups and redirects.

How does it?


Hardware acceleration makes even HD content look awsome on my screen, fullscreen. Very comparable to BR.

wtf is that ? jesus i am a n00b

[dr emulator (madmax)]

i wonder how much of that was pron?

[Eastcoasthandle]

If this trend continues and DD shows substantial growth I would expect the movie industry and others who are involved in the home entertainment industry to offer more online options IMO.

In quality? No, no it doesn't compare, AT ALL.

But that's not the point of my question anyway. I meant in sales. You can't lump all DD content against BD. Most DD content is a competitor to DVD in quality. AKA: SD. It's not intended to compete against HD content.

So I want to know the overall percentage of sales of HD download content (to own, not rent) and then I want to compare it to the 4% of the market BD has.

The miniute difference between a well encoded buffered 1080P at 6Mbps and blu-ray on a TV, and Wal-Mart speakers is not enough to convince the majority.

Wehn I get my theater done (one of these years) I will try it out, PC HD of a good high rate 1080 media VS Blu Ray, and take pics of the actual screen.

6 Mbps is what DVDs are during action sequences. BD-DVD films are at least 10, some reaching 40. There's a list here:

You don't have to take pics. The difference is clearly visible. 6Mbps is not enough to have full detail from a true 1080p HD movie. I see the difference between DD HD and BD quite clearly. Most DD HD looks no better (or minimally better in the best cases) than upscaled DVDs.

And there is still no proof that DD true HD outsells BD. They lumped ALL DD content together, SD and HD alike, when there is a CLEAR market segment difference between SD and HD. I'm willing to bet that BD outdoes HD digital downloads, especially in the ownership segment.
