My question along these lines, is where to market VOD and DVD's besides the two already mentioned.

And what sells, what's popular (please, no sex sells, because not all sex sells)

you don't see VOD surviving?

I don't want a fucking product, I want to get off and log off

I hate the dvd boxes and discs I have now as it is, add to that porn dvd's on top of that and I would go crazy

and no, i don't want to "show off" my fucking porn dvd collection...well, unless I have another huge ecstasy party like I did 5-8 years ago, everyone loves porn then!

Of course it does. What planet are you living on? As a matter of fact everything sells. You just have to be good at marketing. If you are not, then that is your problem. Personally, I could sell igloos to Eskimos.

rhetorical, if you can sell igloos to Eskimos, and your so good at sales, then of course anything you want to sell sells, that is just rhetorical.

Jace you disagree and you agree, ok. But while you are disagreeing and hating that large porn colection you have, I won't complain if you put them all in a box and ship them to me...

Sory for the late reply, life is busy...

I origionaly asked a simple question in line with this thread, where are other simular markets.

rhetorical, You ask who I am. I am a producer who just landed a good backer, hence the reason for my questions.

gonzo, Yes the internet is a fad, and it could die tomarow with some major worm that woips it out, rendering it useless, or by just some new invention. But who cares it is here to make money with, as is VOD, as is DVD, all here today gone tomarow, I am just looking for avenews to make money in Video, which I haven't realisticaly been in before.

LizAEBN, I did look over your tos, didn't like them. Two fold. As a webmaster, I would love to bring VOD to my regulars, but I have no, as in zero, interest in selling random videos. Second as a producer I want a customer to be able to choose my videos. As for why I don't see VOD surviving, standing in the shoes of a consumer, if I like a movie I might want to watch it again, tomarow, next week, next year, but I don't want to have to pay for it again every time I want to watch it. Of course I also want theater quality movies, main stream movies that don't treat me like I'm a flippin virgin. And there is only so many times you can watch Dick bops Jane, it get's old fast.

I was gonna suggest another way to license your content in a market you can't do without the information I was gonna impart......
But then I got confused, and decided not to.

Hmmm. First off, I apologise for the delay in response - like you, I've been busy and haven't checked the board as much as usual.

And now, down to business
Well, there are a few obvious answers here:
1) As a producer, you can certainly offer your video to your consumers - many studios do exactly that by presenting their content via the customised theatre front. You are, of course, aware, that the theatre can be filtered down to very specific studios/ niches/ stars, et cetera, which allows you the freedom to pick and choose precisely which content you would like to have available.

2) With regard to ownership, you may not be aware that although PPM/ VOD is our most popular option for many viewers due to the fact that often variety is, indeed, the spice of life - we also offer download to own and burnable options for those who prefer to build a personal library of content. This allows your visitor and the eventual viewer the option to try before buying - because we've all been burned by paying for a film that wasn't worth it when we got it home - and leads to a higher level of end user satisfaction.

3) You are preaching to the choir with wanting "theater quality movies" - I've long wanted to see more production value in adult, but I'm sure the studios have their reasons for the method in whcih they produce content. As I am not a studio, I can't speak to those reasons, unfortunately.

No I wasn't aware of your filters, never got past your tos. So are you saying I can thus choose a specific movie, write a review on it, and that is the movie my readers will get when they click on that link to you?

Glad to hear you offer a download and burn option. Do you also offer a lable and jacket cover to make them look nice on the shelf?

Theater quality is what we are gearing tward, but our budget is not yet six or nine digit. I've become use to two digit, down from my old FE-2 then DC-50, to CX series cheapies. These guys just dumped four digits in equipment alone, now I have toys to play with again that I was begining to believe were to be only pipe dreems. And we are putting together a couple of scripts, just something to to get a little mud under our feet, but at least something better than wam bam thank you mam. Hard or soft will depend on the outcome their meating with a 2257 loyer. They prefer hard, but we will see.
