Proposed Class Addressed This comment addresses Proposed Class 8: Audiovisual works – space-shifting and format-shifting. The class includes audiovisual works purchased by consumers in physical media such as DVD and Blu-ray discs, as well as those purchased by consumers as digital downloads. The class is intended to include audiovisual works whether they portray images in succession in order to create the impression of motion or not; e.g., an audiovisual slideshow embodied in a DVD or a downloaded file should also be considered a part of the class. Item 3. Overview Beginning with the introduction of DVDs, the most common forms of commercially distributed audiovisual works have been offered with the addition of technological protection measures. These TPMs have served as a barrier to consumers shifting the movies they have legally purchased onto other devices for personal, noncommercial uses, as they can readily do with unprotected audio and audiovisual works.

  • Strategic Maneuvering and Mass-Market Dynamics: the Triumph of VHS Over Beta
    Strategic Maneuvering and Mass-Market Dynamics: The Triumph of VHS Over Beta Michael A. Cusumano, Yiorgos Mylonadis, and Richard S. Rosenbloom Draft: March 25, 1991 WP# BPS-3266-91 ABSTRACT This article deals with the diffusion and standardization rivalry between two similar but incompatible formats for home VCRs (video- cassette recorders): the Betamax, introduced in 1975 by the Sony Corporation, and the VHS (Video Home System), introduced in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (Japan Victor or JVC) and then supported by JVC's parent company, Matsushita Electric, as well as the majority of other distributors in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Despite being first to the home market with a viable product, accounting for the majority of VCR production during 1975-1977, and enjoying steadily increasing sales until 1985, the Beta format fell behind theVHS in market share during 1978 and declined thereafter. By the end of the 1980s, Sony and its partners had ceased producing Beta models. This study analyzes the key events and actions that make up the history of this rivalry while examining the context -- a mass consumer market with a dynamic standardization process subject to "bandwagon" effects that took years to unfold and were largely shaped by the strategic maneuvering of the VHS producers. INTRODUCTION The emergence of a new large-scale industry (or segment of one) poses daunting strategic challenges to innovators and potential entrants alike. Long-term competitive positions may be shaped by the initial moves made by rivals, especially in the development of markets subject to standardization contests and dynamic "bandwagon" effects among users or within channels of distribution.

  • A UNIVERSAL FORMAT for ARCHIVAL TAPE I, Proposal by Jim Wheeler December 1996
    F A UNIVERSAL FORMAT FOR ARCHIVAL TAPE I, Proposal by Jim Wheeler December 1996 This year is the 40th anniversary of the Ampex Quadraples Videotape Recorder introduced in 1956. The quad format dominated for over 20 years, until it was finally replaced by the one inch type C format in 1978. Now, thousands of Quad tapes are sitting on archive shelves and many of them will probably die on the shelves. I. Introduction For most people in the TV Industry, the new videotape formats introduced at the National Association of Broadcasters Symposium in Las Vegas each year are exciting technological advances. But, for a person responsible for preserving the information recorded on videotapes, growth in the number of formats is a constant headache. Archives have collected vast numbers of videotapes in many different formats. While archivists wish to preserve this information, most institutions only have the resources to operate a few pieces of videotape equipment. Commonly, VHS and 314" U-Matic machines are found in smaller institutions, Betacam in a few others. Most do not have access to older broadcast equipment like Quad or I", and almost none have any of the newer digital equipment. The majority of these institutions are forced to reject acquisitions in formats they can not handle. If they do choose to keep these tapes, it is often without any realistic hope they will ever be able to see the images or preserve them. A national awareness of this problem is needed in the video industry. 11. Obsolete formats Figure 1 gives an idea of how many videotape formats exist in archives today.
