PS. Here is the May Day update. Don’t rush to play after reading it. Remember to vote monthly first. From now on, click on the 515 Fan Festival to enjoy double monthly tickets, and other events will give you red envelopes, so you can also take a look!
Fengyu Electronics was the first to introduce the single-sided double-layer format and technical specifications. However, compared with the double-sided double-layer technology introduced by Dongzhi Company, there is a big gap, that is, the double-sided double-layer technology The storage capacity is larger than that of a single-sided double-layered one.
But similarly, the technical requirements for single-sided and double-layer recording are lower and easier to promote. Feng Yu and Philips both believe that the storage capacity of optical discs is not so large for the time being, and a single-sided double-layer structure is sufficient. Even after the recording technology improves in the future, single-sided and single-layer technology will be enough.
In the future, most ordinary movie, music, game and other optical discs will indeed have a single-sided single-layer structure, because even if they are single-sided and single-layer, the future storage capacity will exceed 5G, let alone an ordinary movie. , even high-definition movies are no problem!
You mean a movie collection? It was a product that emerged after some movie IPs became popular after the millennium and began to release sequels. Most of them were pirated, and most of the pirated products were produced in China.
As for TV series, they are of no use for the time being. One is that the main demand for DVDs comes from film companies. They want to release products that are easier for consumers to buy and store. In fact, the copyrights of TV series owned by film companies are not not much.
TV dramas are mostly broadcast on TV. If the audience likes them, the TV station will replay them. Movies are basically not broadcast on TV because the copyright is too expensive. It is similar to TV dramas, but the time is too short and the TV station cannot make money back.
In the future, the largest TV station to purchase movie copyrights would be CCTV’s movie channel. At that time, many people were filming movies. The purpose is to sell the copyright, the CD copyright to the VCD company, and the broadcast copyright to CCTV Movie Channel and TV Station, because they will be used in movie theaters. Not many people watched it.
So Feng Yu told Thomas that the double-sided double-layer structure was a complete waste, with high technical requirements and high cost. It is also difficult to implement, and even single-sided double-layer is not available for the time being. While studying single-sided double-layer, everyone should continue to improve the recording technology and strive for single-sided single layer to meet the needs of various film companies.
Of course, large-capacity ones must also be studied. If future Blu-ray high-definition movies are burned into discs, ordinary discs will never fit in them. Because a high-definition Blu-ray movie can exceed 20G in size!
But now that we don’t even have high-definition TVs, who will we develop and sell them to? Whether it is a VCD or a DVD, you now need to connect it to a TV. The resolution of the TV is only that high. No matter how high-definition the disc is, it is useless. It will still be the same when played!
After Thomas returned to the Netherlands, Philips immediately held a press conference and announced that it would comply with the single-sided double-layer format and technical specifications introduced by Fengyu Electronics and enter the VCD industry.
This news. It caused great shock in the consumer electronics industry.
When Fengyu Electronics launched this format and technical indicators, they were still laughing at the fact that a small electronics manufacturer from China also wanted to set industry standards. Who will comply? Of course we are setting new standards to replace Fengyu Electronics' standards.
For example, Dongzhi did this, and Sony also announced that it would join forces with Dongzhi.
But now a world-class company like Philips has announced that it will abide by Fengyu Electronics' industry standards. Isn't that a disguised form of profit-making for Fengyu Electronics
Everyone knows and sets the standards. Who are the industry leaders? Philips actually recognized Fengyu Electronics as the leader in the multimedia optical disc industry? !
But they also immediately understood that Fengyu Electronics had licensed the patent to Philips, and having Philips implement the standard would inevitably make the standard implementation faster and easier to be recognized by other companies.
For example, PolyGram Records, a subsidiary of Philips, began to fully cooperate with Fengyu Electronics, selling music copyrights to Fengyu Electronics at a low price to produce audio-visual discs of that specification.
Many companies that have cooperated with Philips, including film companies, record companies, etc., quickly announced that they would abide by Fengyu Electronics' industry standards.
Now Dongzhi and Sony can't sit still. They have joined forces to formulate standards. They firmly believe that their technology has greater capacity and is more advanced, so it should be more suitable for the market. So they also began to contact more audio and video companies to promote their standards.
I originally thought that if the two families joined forces, not to mention completely defeating Fengyu Electronics, but suppressing it would be no problem. After they formulate industry standards, their corresponding technologies will be more valuable, while Fengyu Electronics' research direction will be useless and a waste of money.
But they never expected that Philip would be willing to lower his head and cooperate with Fengyu Electronics!
The most angry person was Dongzhi. They also approached AIWA and Fengyu Electronics to get the VCD patent authorization, but they were rejected directly at that time!
Including NEC, Fujitsu, Songxia and many other companies, I have contacted them, but without exception, they have not received authorization!
The bigger the company, the less they dare to steal patents, because once caught, the cost of the patent will be magnified, and all the profits they make will be taken away, which is equivalent to working for others in vain. , and then lost brand credibility.
Why didn't Feng Yu license it to them at that time? The profit earned from patent licensing was not much at all
There are two reasons for this. First, Feng Yu is waiting for the successful development of MPEG-II technology, lest other companies take the lead and his patent authorization becomes worthless.
The second point is more important, because those companies are all from island countries!
Feng Yu just doesn't want the island company to get the patent and make this money.
Now, Feng Yu has asked Jiang Wanmeng and others to contact other companies to start large-scale patent licensing for MPEG's first-generation technology, which also includes VCD application technology.
Technology has advanced, and it is time for old technologies to create final value. This is the approach that many large companies have always adopted. It can not only make more money, but also prevent the technology from being surpassed by others.
Many companies even specialize in researching technology patents and then do not produce products, relying on patent fees to make a lot of money. For example, Ericsson will not produce any mobile phones in the future, but the company with the most patents in mobile phones is Ericsson. Their annual profits can exceed that of many mobile phone brand companies by relying on patent fees.
When Dongzhi and Sony began to look for companies to implement their technical standards, Pioneer issued a statement that they, in conjunction with HP, would also implement new standards for recordable DVDs.
Once again, two industry giants joined forces and found a new direction in the cracks.
Aren't you competing for single-sided double-layer and double-sided double-layer recording standards? We will develop new writing standards and dyeing standards, so we can still make money.
So currently, there are three types of DVD standards on the market, and there are world-class companies complying with the promotion, and no one can do anything to the other.
The most ridiculous thing is that there is no DVD player at all! The battle for standards continues, and it is difficult for DVDs to be promoted because the products produced by everyone are incompatible.
Feng Yu admitted that he was disgusted. According to their wishes, if they don't make money, no one can make money, right? Then let's see who among us can have the last laugh!
