I met some people from one of the major studios about 15 years ago. They were interested in digital distribution back then because of the costs of moving cans of film around. One of those costs was - miss a day's showing and lose a day's revenue. There is a start-up I am aware of whose major product is a compression algorithim for video and the hardware to use it. They have been doing digital distribution for some of the biggies, including Disney, on a trial basis. They distributed a movie to Cannes Film Festival last year on digital satellite. This is a coming thing and I am convinced of the cost savings that would result. You may also have seen news on the loss of historic film footage due to deterioration. This could be eliminiated.
