We are a small group based in Europe who were firm believers that people who purchased there HDDVD Hardware should not be left in the dark. Everybody involved in this project has connections to local and small film and media industries.
As you may well know, that in the western world millions of HD-DVD players were sold. Then the studios declared it dead, telling everyone they now need blu-ray.
Here we believe no one should be able to tell us; we cant buy films for players we have already bought.
We say NO! We want to watch movies on our HD-DVD players.
So we decided to remaster cult-classic movies and release them on HD-DVD.
Bringing you films previously unavailable to HD-DVD owners!
And every month, we will be releasing new, exciting titles.
We will bring you at least 250 new HD-DVD titles every year.
In the news:
In china they did not want to go over to blu-ray so they released CH-DVD (Later renamed CHBD), their own version of HD-DVD.
Thanks to HDDVDs amazing quality, it outsells blu-rays 3:1
