Hi James! And I don't see how:
the following is Advantage-DVD

"....What changed things was the DVD.

More than 25 million homes have players, and 70 million will by 2006, according to Adams Media Research. And Hollywood is hooked on discs that offer a
crisp copy of a movie, often with extra features.....".

VOD, where digital content can be manipulated dynamically at will, is a major advantage in terms of "extra features". Features could be updated and customized through the movie release process....rather than fixed by the DVD burn process.

Just as an aside........Personally, I see so many other non-movie related features that could be very successful. QVC or other shopping on demand content will be huge. Also, home improvement content and instructional is a feature I will use big-time (show me how to install a door knob....now).
