The fact that scenes are released on DVD first and then VOD is also retarded.



I couldn't agree more on this point. With adult theaters disappearing all over the country, VoD should be the medium to see adult films first.

Instead, a lot of the major studios are running the whole business model backwards, making VoD companies wait, 30, 60, or even 90 days after the DVD streets. When the time finally rolls around that the title can be encoded, and offered on VoD, nobody gives a shit about it anymore, they've already bought the DVD, and there are newer titles out.

What the studios should do, is allow their new releases to run on VoD for about a month before the title gets released on DVD. That way they can try to advertise the title, and build up some interest in it, before selling physical copies. This could also be a good way to gauge whether a title will do well, or not, and could even save money on replication... if a title does poorly on VoD, you press less copies, and therefore save money on 1,000 pieces of a shitty title that will just end up sitting in the warehouse.



This all makes perfect sense. Change or Die! This has been on the horizon for a while and yet the same old business model is being followed. Of course if these guys were really smart, they would be in Silicon Valley instead of Porn Valley.
