Kommentar: Am Beispiel von QOL (hat vor kurzem erst eine Blu-ray Anlage bei Singulus bestellt! Oder steht eine Entwicklungs und Forschungszusammenarbeit mit Singulus in Wirklichkeit dahinter ??) sieht man wie schnell sich deren Meinung über HD-DVD ( diese ist wesentlich günstiger herzustellen) von April 2007 bis September 2007 geändert hat ...diese Meinungsänderungen sind auf Umfragen zurückzuziehen, die beide Formate in den nächsten Monaten /Jahren in Front sehen. Man würde, wenn man nicht beide Formate anbieten würde Umsatz verschenken (siehe vorheriges Posting) ...
Die aktuellen Preis für eine komplette Blu-line mit Spritzgussmaschinen von Singulus kann man diesem Posting auch entnehmen...
HD-DVD gets the upper-hand over Blu-ray Format in Europe
Saturday, April 21st, 2007
[..]
It is also believed among European film companies that process for HD-DVD players will fall faster than those of Blu-ray. This belief is based on the expectation that once Chinese manufacturers begin to produce HD-DVD players, prices reductions of the Toshiba-pioneered DVD format player will soon follow.
[..]
According to a chief executive of French DVD replication company QoL, “HD-DVD replication line costs about €800,000 (around £545,000) and you can make 40,000 discs a day on it. A Blu-ray replication line costs around €1,8m and you can make 10,000 to 15,000 discs a day. The risk is not the same.”

HD DVD takes early lead in European market
April 09, 2007

Production costs are also of importance to smaller studios which may not be willing to purchase entirely new equipment in order to press Blu-ray discs, or incur substantially higher costs to produce them. French replication company Qol CEO Laurent Villaume told FT that the risk involved in producing Blu-ray disks isn't comparable to that of HD DVD: "An HD DVD replication line costs about €800,000 and you can make 40,000 discs a day on it. A Blu-Ray replication line costs €1.7m or €1.8m and you can make 10,000 to 15,000 discs a day."

HD DVD vs. Blu-ray: A high-definition confusion
10 Sep 2007
[..]
Jim Bottoms, co-founder of Understanding & Solutions, provided the bottom line on the critical issue of befuddling the consumer. "The longer the confusion exists for mass market consumers, they will want one format," he said. "If the market does not have a one-format solution within 18 months, the consumer will start to turn away."
When that happens, Bottoms warned, "There's a real danger that all this investment will be wasted."
Not all the panelists agreed with that estimate. Laurent Villaume, president of QOL, France, predicted that the two-format struggle will last into 2011, when—according to his company's research—40 percent of households in the United States will have some installed HD capacity, and the Blu-ray/HD DVD market split will probably be about 60/40. "It's impossible to think," Villaume said, "that one format will be dead within this timeframe."
For now, according to Bottoms, Blu-ray commands 58 percent of industry support within the still embryonic high-definition disk market, with HD DVD at 23 percent and Warner, supporting both formats, representing the other 19 percent.

PS3 saves Blu-ray
Among the weapons recently deployed in the format war was Sony's Playstation 3 game console, which has the capacity to play Blu-ray DVDs. Sony has touted a sales spike for Blu-ray disks since the release of Playstation 3, but panelist Jean-Luc Renaud, publisher of DVD and Beyond 2007 in the United Kingdom, was skeptical. He said gamers who bought Playstation 3 were initially "underwhelmed" with the selection of games available for the machine, so they switched to playing movies. But as Sony fills the games gap, he predicted, "the PS3s will go back to the kid's room" and consumer use of Playstations for movie-watching will drop off.
