We are buying Blu-Ray now. They are somewhat popular but certainly not as popular as DVDs. This holiday season I believe the players will start to go down in price and become more popular. Keep in mind that you can play a DVD on a Blu-Ray player so really you are just opening up your options by buying a Blu-Ray player.
It would not bother me if a film was offered in Blu-Ray only. Packaging does not matter as we will put it in our own packaging. Julia Churchill Audio Visual Supervisor Oak Lawn Public Library 9427 S. Raymond Ave. Oak Lawn, Illinois 60453 [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jessica Rosner Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 3:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Question about buying Blu-Rays I am dealing with a film where the producer is considering releasing it Blu-Ray ONLY. It is a very visual film that I imagine will look great, but I also imagine that will cut down on sales. One alternative is to release a standard HD Copy but with bare bone boxing Vs the Blu-Ray. Any feedback on if you would not buy blu-ray or not buy something in generic box would be appreciated. You can email me directly if you want. Jessica VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
