Did you know VHS and BluRay won because porn wasn’t on Beta and HD-DVD.
A new spin on an old myth. There was plenty of porn on Betamax. Where the major studios were very nervous about releasing their films on videotape in the early days, the adult film industry saw a new revenue stream.
Apparently there were adult HD DVD’s made, but you weren’t likely to see them sold in stores. I doubt porn sales alone would have kept HD DVD afloat in the mid 2000’s anyway. The internet is for porn!
The one video format that never allowed adult film releases was RCA’s CED Videodisc. The company had complete control over the plants making the discs, which wasn’t always the case with Pioneer and Laserdiscs.
