DVD Format Changing Movie-making

Posted by michael on from the mostly-for-the-worse dept.

rgmoore writes "The Los Angeles Times is running an interesting article on the impact of DVDs on the movie making process. They briefly mention the possibilities of end-users being able to re-edit the movie (with a veiled reference to The Phantom Edit) but focus more on the way that it's starting to influence directors and producers during the course of making the movie."

    If you run a business and you provide what the customers are asking for, your sales go up and so does your profit!!

    But they're following the Microsoft business model -- if you don't give them any choices, you can raise your prices and your profits. I think this most closely fits what the entertainment industry is trying to do.
