Chapter 794 The DVD That Came Out of Thin Glass

The digital video solution for continuous bounce tickets has finally been unveiled.

The market's reaction to this dump from Bell Labs was a bit odd.

Of course, MPEG is not happy, in essence, this so-called DVD1 is simply an upgraded version of MPEG.

However, they were dragged back by the lawsuit. Your current MPEG2, not to mention that it is not finished, even if it is completed, you will run into a series of patent issues.

Crucially, Wright Systems not only comes up with digital video standards, they also provide a complete solution.

Hardware decompression chips, this Motorola production, is indeed amazing enough. The most important thing is that people take copyright into account. If the disc is burned illegally, the chip will not work.

Well, that's actually pretty. If they really want to get around this scheme, they have 10,000 ways to do it.

However, a plan is a plan. Your MPEG doesn't have that in mind at all.

Go and see the streets of Datu Country and Xiangjiang, there are VCDs everywhere. All of them are in your format, and more than ninety percent of them are pirated.

Explain what.

"Ahem, Filson, there is no movement on the footbasin and the treasure island?"

"No, it's still waiting, of course, if we OEM, they won't have a problem. ”

"Of course the rabbit country wants to sell, the picture quality of the VCD is not good, they must have higher requirements. It's just that the time is still a little premature.

That way, they'll get the right to sell at the same time. As for the regulations, let's not talk about that. ”

"Boss, you mean, they're going to change our settings. ”

"My fear is that they're going to change our decoding chips. Well, it's not actually worrying, they will definitely change. ”

"Boss, since that's the case, we don't sell it?"

"It's useless, at least you can make some money. This chip is not X86, and the requirements are not so high. The primary goal at the moment is to seize the market, at least, there will be no problems with rice and foot basins.

Engage in two kinds of chipsets, sign an agreement when the time comes, and export products can't be messed around. ”

"Ahem, I know, there's nothing wrong with this, the products they export are not the same as those sold domestically. Besides, we can still ask for inspections. ”

The footbasin reacts coldly, which is actually quite easy to understand. Their VCRs are bought all over the world, and they are making crazy money.

What is that thing, can you record sports?

Rice country and foot basins, televisions and video recorders have long been popularized. The biggest use of this thing is to record TV shows that you don't have time to watch.

Well, there are a few other uses for otaku, so I won't explain too much here.

"Steve, what does this so-called DVD mean? If it's like a videotape, why should I buy it?"

Qiao Dashen looked at Lucas with disdain, this old guy, he didn't know anything, and he dared to talk nonsense.

"George, how can it be the same? Let me tell you, the difference is huge. Don't talk about DVDs, it's the kind of VCD in the rabbit country, which is also more convenient than a video recorder.

For example, if I go to sing KTV now, the VCD is just a number, but the video tape is much more troublesome. Also, the definition of DVD is better than that of a videotape. It's hard to say otherwise, if I watch a movie at home, I don't think about what VCR. ”

"Tsk, so to speak, the current video rental market, there will be some changes. Lucas was thoughtful, he was pretty sure that if it wasn't good for William White, it wouldn't be so positive.

"Rental? It's easy to make money by selling DVDs directly. If you can't rip it, it's better to rent it than to buy it. Especially those that are more classic. ”

Lucas figured it out, and the other giants of Hollywood are not stupid. The picture quality is improved, and copyright issues can be protected, this thing is obviously better than the video recorder.

According to Bell Labs, it may still be a little expensive, and if it is mass-produced, it will be close to the cost of a video recorder. As for the cost of copying and producing discs, they are generally lower than those of videotapes.

Everyone knows that even if it doesn't replace the video recorder, there is a market for this thing. CD players sell well, so there are no vinyl records. In order to get better picture quality, many people don't care about spending a little more.

What William White didn't know was that the footbasin man had already begun to tear 13. Matsushita and Suomi were obviously shocked by this sudden change.

The press conference they went to, the same three TVs, VCRs, MPEG, DVD.

It is clear that the gap is all-encompassing. Whether they are willing or unhappy, it will not affect anything.

"We're going to get the mandate?"

"Yes, after repeated confirmations. There is also room for the price of that decoder chip to be reduced. They will next produce in the footbasin. ”

"This guy, how nice it would be two years late. The shipment of our video recorders has not been affected. ”

"Yes, but it's all the VCD's fault. Except for the kind with karaoke function, our sales in Xiangjiang have dropped significantly. ”

"Bastard, how can Xiangjiang use so much, these are all sold to the rabbit country. By the way, what did Somi do?"

"President, it seems that they are still planning to do their own format. ”

"Well, you can't wait, book me a plane ticket to Los Angeles. Our Panasonic won narrowly last time, and we can't fall behind this time.

By the way, isn't Philips going to do anything about it in Europe? Is there any news? ”

"President, I'm afraid it's enough, the White system is too powerful, they have a complete set of solutions. The things at the press conference can be directly used for production. And..."

"What are you talking about, when is it now?"

"Yes, president, according to the news from the rabbit country, those VCD factories have already submitted applications. ”

"Damn, why so fast. ”

"President, in essence, there is not much difference between VCD and DVD. It's just that the compression of the video is different. As for the optical drive and the disc, it's just the difference in price. ”

"Alas, this time there is really trouble, it seems that the plan of the rabbit country factory must be advanced. ”

With the addition of Panasonic, William White is still very happy. It's not because of Panasonic, don't forget, Universal is still in their hands.

White Pictures, Disney, Universal, this is already the Big Three. It doesn't matter if you're one Colombian or the other, as long as you can protect your intellectual property.

Of course, there are also very unhappy people. Lei Shidong is very sore now. He's not just Paramount, unless he continues to run a theater chain, the old guy also has a videotape rental business.

Any change is unpleasant for the old guys. It's a good day now, and if you make a moth here, it won't do me any good.

Working with Colombia?

Hehe, now I don't have a word. You know when the footbasin man will have results.

As for Philips?

I really don't understand, is this former overlord of the industry the same as their ridiculous Invincible Armada?

There really aren't many options left for the old guys.

Thinking of William White, the old guy had another convulsion. Nima, this bastard boy, inexplicably caused me to spend hundreds of millions more, and now if I throw myself into his arms, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed at and crazy.

What, for Mao to care about Hollywood's ideas.

Ahem, what do you think, why did MPEG come back to Niu 13?

If the content provider doesn't support it, no matter how good your format is, it's useless. White Pictures has now said that no one is allowed to convert his family's movies in MPEG format.

Any commercial use is infringing and illegal, and they will file a lawsuit if they find someone selling or viewing it.
