Abstract
In 1997, a product was released that would do what nothing (not Betamax, Laserdisc, nor various projector systems) seemed to be capable of: conquering the VCR/VHS system. This product was the dvd (Digital video or Digital Versatile Disc). As soon as it hit stores in the United States, it was bought at unpredictable rates and with its superior visual and audio capabilities, it soon after replaced VHS as the leading medium for home movie viewing. The dvd was popular from its start, but certain changes in production and development made it even more profitable. The invention and distribution of the dvd created a large influx of money to the media business, largely due to the selling of various re-releases and special editions, especially the Criterion Collection, which gained popularity by offering many updated special features (which dvd buyers completely demand today) such as extra footage, "making-of" specials, and audio commentaries.
