\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the major changes in home entertainment over the last year was the rise of video-on-demand, with services such as iTunes, Lovefilm<\/a> and Netflix<\/a> eating away at the disc market.<\/p>\n

But discs are still alive and studios still control the major releases on Blu-ray and DVD, with some releases coming with\u00a0the cloud-based format called UltraViolet<\/a>, which allows users to legally rip a digital copy.<\/p>\n

We’ll have to wait and see how Christmas sales pan out, but\u00a0we are currently living through a profound change in how we watch films in the home.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the current situation resembles a confusing technical soup with various companies having to figure out some very difficult problems in how they produce and distribute their content.<\/p>\n

But that is the subject of a longer post.<\/p>\n
