While adult film makers in the US have primarily been pro-HD DVD, those in Japan are reportedly embracing the Blu-ray Disc format.
According to PC World, finding companies to mass produce their adult titles hasn't been an issue either, as there are companies in
Taiwan more than willing to do the work.
Until now, only a handful of companies operated the stampers needed to copy
thousands of Blu-ray Disc movies at a time. But the Japanese company handling most of the early Blu-ray Disc adult film releases in Japan
says it has partnered with a Taiwanese company able to secure the necessary equipment from Sony.
"In Japan, there are some
problems. Companies cannot press Blu-ray discs because they cannot touch adult-related contracts," said Kiyotaka Konno, director of
administration at Assist Corp., a Japanese company that authors and replicates DVDs for the adult industry in Japan. "So we asked some
makers in Taiwan to do the work, and then we import the discs back to Japan. The Taiwanese company was able to obtain a pressing machine
from Sony and will start mass production in August."
The Japanese adult film industry has already put out ten movies on
Blu-ray and more are on the way. In comparison, only one adult film has been released on HD DVD in Japan. If you'd like to read more,
