While Blu-ray and HD DVD have been busy, battling it out, HD VMD
has slowing been gaining support. In a recent press release, NME announced that they've formed partnership with independent distributor
and production companyAnthem Pictures.
New Medium Enterprises (NME)(OTC Bulletin Board: NMEN), the company bringing
affordable HD homeentertainment to the globe through HD VMD (Versatile Multilayer Disc),announces title releases on the HD VMD format
into the US market followinga recent partnership with independent distributor and production companyAnthem Pictures. Anthem Pictures, one
of the most respected independentproducers and distributors within the industry, has developed world-widerecognition through its large
distribution network selling in every countrywith recent releases such as Mother Ghost starring James Franco (Spiderman1,2 & 3) and Kevin
Pollack (The Usual Suspects, Casino), Soldier of God andfuture release Two:Thirteen. Catalogue titles include Zalma King's Red
ShoeDiaries starring David Duchovni (X-Files).
I think NME has made a smart move by catering to smaller, independent
companies like Anthem Pictures. For these companies, HD VMD offer an affordable alternative to Blu-ray and HD VMD. Nevertheless, is HD
VMD is going to succeed, they're going to need the support of Hollywood's major film studios. If you'd like to read more, NME's
