Bollywood Won't Wait for HD DVD Outcome
Bollywood film distributors have bypassed the HD DVD/Bluray debate by choosing their own format from New Medium Enterprises called VMD (Versatile Multilayer Disc).
Business of Cinema has reported that 10 Bollywood titles will be available from Jan 07 on the NME player which will be for sale through Indian retailers and e-commerce site for ex-pats.
The player was first seen at this year's Mipcom and will also play normal DVDs (but not HD DVDs or Bluray). Bollywood is the world's largest film business with 23 million viewers per day.
