Blu-ray song and dance
Taiwan's largest maker of pre-recorded optical disks, is
negotiating a deal with Bollywood to outsource the production of Blu-ray
flicks.
Company chairman Steven Chang said that U-Tech has become
an outsourced producer of BD discs for top movie studios in Hollywood, and
wants to sign up the lucrative Bollywood industry.
One of the biggest barriers to adoption of Blu-ray has
been the cost. Not only do studios have to pay a high change to use the
Blu-ray technology they have higher set up costs using local industry.
Bollywood's production costs are cheap and sticking
material onto Blu-ray is expensive for everything other than blockbusters.
