THE WAR IS OVER!

Wait! Maybe I should clarify that statement..."The DVD High Definition war is over"!  There.  

So what does that mean for our wedding clients?  Well let me back up a bit.  Until a few days ago, if you wanted a High Definition (HD) DVD you had to buy a Blu  (that's right it is actually spelled Blu) Ray DVD player or an HD (created by Toshiba) DVD player, or both if you wanted to play either.  What a hassle, it was like we were back in the VHS vs. DVD days.  Until now.

Toshiba threw in the towel and announced they will not longer be producing the HD DVD. Blu Ray won.  Soon you will be seeing the Blu Ray logo on high def. DVD players, DVDs at Blockbuster and other places...including Echo Media.  Don't get caught up in all the hype (that some are putting out), about having to have a HD converter box by a certain date.  That has nothing to do with this, that is only addressing how you will receive a signal by your cable, satellite or roof top antenna.  This is about playing a high definition DVD in your player.  Your wedding DVD.

Echo Media is proud to announce that we will (as of the date of this posting) be offering our wedding clients one of two packages.  Standard Definition or High Definition.  We will burn the final product on Blu Ray DVD disks.  You will still have to pony up with a few dollars to buy that Blu Ray DVD player however in no time at all they will be under $100 dollars.  Oh and a side note, Blu Ray DVD players will also play your standard DVDs.

If you have not seen True High Definition you will be amazed to say the least.  Give us a few months and will have some demo samples for you to view.  Until then, give us a call or download our service agreement to see how we priced the product.  We won't kid you, it is a bit more money, because it's a lot more work.  But you will wonder why anyone would have Standard Definition after seeing HD.  Call us, we can talk more.
