Why Dvds Won't Be Dying Anytime Soon

By Hedrick Lepsch


You have been watching local video rental stores closing, while more kiosks are being added to gas stations and grocery store parking lots. So many people think that things are going towards all digital formats - rentals through online sources. However, while some things change and Blockbusters will close up, DVDs aren't going anywhere.

Although, DVD replication services are able to produce high-quality video and audio, as well as all the bells and whistles that you've come to expect from a DVD.

However, the film industry is now seeing something similar to what happened to the music industry some years ago. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime are growing, and some have speculated that DVDs will soon die out. But this won't happen.

So what is replacing the physical source for all of your movie watching content? Many are resulting to purchasing subscriptions online, or video-on-demand. You have heard of many of these, Netflix or Amazon Instant Video. Others are doing small purchases and rentals online, sites like iTunes allow viewers to select movies.

You want only the best quality for the CDs that are produced, so it's important to first ask a company to see examples of what they've done in the past for other people or businesses. You'll want to know about their printing process and equipment. Do they print in full color and use high-grade materials? You want your CDs to both look nice and to be accessible and compatible for your customers to listen or view the content.

Another issue that most people have with online subscription services is that they're paying for a service, not buying something. Once they end that service, they don't have anything to show for it, as all of the media they were able to use is digital. It's not a download, and there is no hard copy.

The Industry is holding on. Now when you purchase a physical copy of the latest blockbuster you can elect to buy versions with Blue-Ray, DVD, and a digital copy. They are going to provide you ways to get everything so that you stick with getting your movie fix legally.

On the other hand, if you buy a DVD, it's yours. It goes on your shelf, and you will be able to use it as long as you have a DVD player that works. And even if your last DVD player starts do die on you, you still have the option to digitize the media on it.

There are a lot of reasons people might think DVDs have seen their best days. Those people point to the decline in DVD duplication services and the rise of streaming services as the main contributing factors to the demise of the DVD. But DVD replication and increasing numbers of online services are only part of the equation. There will be more formats in the market, but that doesn't mean that they can't coexist. It's just a matter of time before the two reach equilibrium.
