Question to Warners: which format (HD or BD) is doing better in terms of sales?
Answer: Overall, BD is outselling HD DVD, fairly consistent with the rest of the market.

Question to Fox: how many of the 29 FOX titles will include BD+ copy protection?
Answer: No number. BD+ is an important development for FOX. No further comment.

Question to BDA (overall): what about Paramount? What will win them back?

(They look a bit anxious).

Answer: Paramount had the opportinity to evaluate the same numbers we've seen today. So we should ask them, not the BDA.

Question to Warners: TotalHD concept, can you tell us what's happening with that?
Answer: They still think it's a viable idea in a two-format world. Something they're still looking at and working on. It's still alive.

Question to BDA: HD DVD are going to push the point that HD DVD is more affordable tomorrow at their press conference. Could the BDA address that disadvantage? What about future hardware BD pricing?
Answer: They don't think pricing is the single factor. It's the overall package. Recording is not provided by HD DVD. Prices will fall. It will take care of itself over time.

Question to BDA: piracy implications of opening the BD authoring centre in China?
Answer: (Nobody wants to answer this one - they're passing the mic around). "No comment".

Another exec comes to the rescue and takes the mic: Watermark and BD+ mean that there will be "no impact" on the protection of BD content.

Question to BDA: is the BDA aware that perfect [beeep]es of BD movies are circulating? Do they plan to stop it?
Answer: They're aware. AACS is renewable so the leak can be stopped. BD+ is another powerful tool (although it's not been used yet).

Question to BDA: it's about Paramount/Dreamworks. People speculated that Paramount were given 'sweeteners''. The person asking wants a Yes or No answer from all of the studios - have you been 'sweetened' to stick exclusively with Blu-ray?
Answer: (Nobody wants to answer this).

The FOX exec is given the mic: "We were given very good content protection" (smiles).

(They continue passing the mic around).

Question to BDA: The guy who originally asked the question wants a definite confirmation that NO studio has received any sweetener to stay with Blu-ray.

Answer from Buena Vista: "That's not what I said. I said no comment".

Question to BDA: Was Paramount a surprise? Will they hurt HD in general because of going HD DVD exclusive?
Answer: Clear 2-to-1 advantage in the market in favour of BD. Retailers choosing BD - these are very clear statements. Paramount said HD DVD is cheaper - but the entry of 2nd gen BD models makes the gap smaller. Yes, it came as a surprise to them. Fox exec says Paramount doesn't matter too much, because there are still lots of big box office movies on BD.

Question to Fox: When are BD Live players coming out?
Answer: That's one for the manufacturers to answer.

Question to Disney: The BD-Java set top game on Pirates of the Caribbean isn't working on my machine! Are you satisfied?
Answer: there were some early issues, but as far as they're aware, the fixes have been made. Edytowane 31 Sierpnia 2007 przez sebik
