"Make More of Your Media" with CD-writer.com, by Nic Ranshaw

At CD-writer.com we really get the feeling that we are on the front line of the industry. We work so hard at delivering effective services via our web channels it feels like we are in 24/7 contact with our customers.

No one knows the market better than the market itself and what a market it is. Rich in enterprise and new ideas there seems to be no end to the imagination and creativity of customers.

As Quarter 4 2006 comes we will no doubt see a proliferation of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD products battling for market share in what is largely a very much unknown territory. What is Blu-Ray, why do we need it,  will it be a success, will it make us money? No one knows the answers for sure yet. Perhaps it would be interesting to look at the stats for the best selling DVDs of all time and see which ones used extras. I would wager that the most profitable DVD movies were those that sold on the quality of the film making. I guess we will soon see what Real Value Add the opportunity for a large capacity format will offer us (above picture clarity of course).

By Christmas if you want to remain competitive in commercial film and video production it is likely you will be thinking about adding HD to your service offering.  Rest assured at CD-witer.com we will be profiling, reviewing and retailing all the cutting edge pieces of kit for in-house disc production. At CD-writer.com we recently celebrated the fact (it’s true) that we were the first UK retailer to bring the Pioneer BDR drive to market and I hope that we will continue to push the market forward for some years to come.As we move into this BLUE LASER period watch out for new products from MicroBoards, Primera and StorDigital who are set to release a range of professional Blu-Ray publishers.Visit www.cd-writer.com now and discover products including the MicroBoards GX1, the Primera XR rack-mountable publishing solution and the new range of BD and HD-DVD duplicators available from StorDigital Systems.
