Summary: The war between the High definition DVD formats (Blu-ray and HD-DVD) have effected the adult industry as to which direction the industry will take in pressing their adult content DVDs. The article suggests that the adult industry cemented the prominence of the VHS video format when home video porn films were pressed on VHS instead of Betamax. The adult industry could also have the same effect on the Blu-ray and HD-DVD war. Ali Davoudian, founder of the adult entertainment company digital playground – stated his company would go with the HD-DVD as the technology of choice for high definition porn films, because Sony was against the use of Blu-ray format for such purposes. However he has also been quoted as saying that he prefers Blu-ray technology as Blu-ray disks have a higher capacity than HD-DVD.
