Hi Scott, I agree that this new chip/market are important for CUBE. However, I disagree with some of your points.
<<Most people use their vcr for
time-shifting (ie, watching programs at times other than they were originally
broadcast), not movie rentals.>>
I'm not sure if this is true. I never record with my VCR, unless it's from my video camera. I would be interested in the statistics about the general public's use of VCRs, if anyone has them.
<<According to one of the articles released over the
weekend, this new chip is supposed to lead to the development of a recordable dvd
product for video. Personally, I think this is where the real market is. Then it can be
goodbye to the VCR and hello to DVD.>>
I agree that this is a promising market.
<<As far as recording audio on CD's, well, there are tons of recordable CD devices on the market.>>
Scott, CD was a huge success long before recordable CD came around. Even now, recordable audio CD is a very small percentage of overall CD audio player sales. |
