I think DVD is going to win big vs other stuff - the new DVD player today is a PC with a $200 add-in board (complete with MPEG-@ hardware decode) displayed on the TV. By X'mas, it will be $140 or less, way beat out other stand alone players. Also, by Q1, the CD-rom on PCs are going to give way to the DVD too. When that happens, China should also start switching from VCD to DVD, and the new LSI kit that can do both should do good. patrick

DVD Comes on Strong e-town.com >>DVD movie player sales for June hit a record that encourages the DVD Video Group to believe that hardware sales will reach the 1 million-unit mark by the end of the calendar year. Industry inventory levels for DVD video players are low for both manufacturers and retailers, he reported, despite the more than 40 models from 20-plus vendors that are currently available. Retailers, too, reported strong results for the format. Best Buy's DVD products specialist Joe Pagano called DVD "the fastest-growing new technology in our company's 32-year history - faster than the VCR and faster than CD players. We are starting to see signs that the DVD will do for the video business what the CD did for the music business in the 1980s."<< e-town.com
