China lacks DVD software........................... chinaonline.com Chaos In China's DVD Industry (12/02/99) China?s DVD industry has not lived up to manufacturers? expectations this year, largely because the DVD disc market is depressed, reported the November 30 Jingji Ribao (Economic Daily). China now has 10 DVD disc manufacturers with 11 DVD disc product lines, but only two lines have been put into production. Why? First, there are not enough program resources. Secondly, hardware manufacturers, software manufacturers and publishers units lack integration. DVD machine manufacturers do not work together with DVD disc manufacturers to develop the market. This also results in the failure of DVD disc development to catch up with that of DVD machines. Thirdly, it is difficult to reduce the cost of manufacturing DVD discs, said Mr. Zou Jianhua, director of the Audiovisual & Electronic Publication Administration Department of the State Journalism & Press Office. According to Zou, China still has no standards for the manufacture of DVD machines or DVD discs. This slows down the entry of DVD discs into the market. Therefore, speeding up the establishment of such standards by related government departments is the current priority. In addition, the prevalence of fake discs in the market is giving VCD disc publishers a headache and dampening their desire to promote DVD discs.
