- Summary:
-
"The introduction of the DVD marked the beginning of one of history's most successful technological innovations, and capped a 75-year development of home-viewing possibilities. Never before have film fans had access in their living rooms to something so remarkably close to the theatrical experience. In addition, because a DVD can hold much more than a single movie, it has allowed films to be marketed with a variety of extras, sparking new and greater interest on the part of home viewers. This book provides an examination of the DVD's impact, both on home viewing and on film study." "Not only will this book be of interest to the burgeoning population of DVD fans and collectors, but it will also provide insights that should be of interest to both students of popular culture and of film."--BOOK JACKET.
