ps. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the Biquge www.biquge.info515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the pen Quge www.biquge.info coins, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

They all complied with Feng Yu's requirements, and Feng Yu would naturally give them a little benefit, otherwise no one would cooperate with Feng Yu anymore, for example, they could withdraw at the same time, then each company only needed to compensate 40 million US dollars, and then these companies that went crazy were definitely not easy to mess with, and it was very likely that both sides would lose, and they would eventually be picked up by Dongzhi and Sony.

"Starting at the beginning of next month, the patent fee per DVD will be halved and reduced by five dollars per year thereafter until the patent fee is zero." Feng Yu announced loudly.

The patent fee is halved, and it costs $25 per unit, and the patent fee can be charged for five years. And its practical use will not take five years, about three years, the technology of DVD has matured, and VD will become a thing of the past.

This condition seems to be very good, but in fact, when you dig deeper, it is useless at all. But Feng Yu has already given the condition that the patent fee will be halved and reduced year by year, what else can anyone else say? The requirements continue to be lowered? Or simply give them free use? If this kind of condition is proposed, a fool will agree.

If they do bring it up, then they are not sincere.

So they could only acquiesce to this condition, but the companies in the island country were still not satisfied, and put forward another condition, that is, the price of VD could not be reduced this year, and if it was lowered again, they would not have any profits, or even lose money.

Now a VD, after reducing the patent licensing fee, they only have a profit of about twenty dollars, which is already very low.

Feng Yu also agreed to this, and he didn't want the price of the VD to be too low. That would also make him a lot less money. And for the time being, these people are needed to push the DVD standard. Besides, I just promised them that the price would not drop this year, and it could still be reduced next year.

And now the main promotion is super VD, and the profit is several times that of ordinary VD. The sales are not bad, and the second generation of super VD will be launched next year. Ordinary DVDs don't have much to do.

Even if you really want to hit these companies, you can make super DVDs drop their prices, which can also make them vomit blood!

But now, it's not time yet, aren't Sony still stiffening?

When the DVD forum was held, more than 30 of the world's largest consumer electronics companies were recruited, and the headquarters was set in Huaxia Hefei, Sony panicked.

What an invitation to this DVD forum. Why didn't they receive it? In the world's consumer electronics industry, they are also very strong, okay? Which company issued this TM invitation?

Headquartered in Huaxia Hefei, so the initiator is Wind and Rain Electronics? Such a company that is not ranked can become the initiator with two patented technologies? Are all those big companies stupid, you all went and joined this company?

They looked at the list of member companies of the forum, and found that there were software giants such as Microsoft and Tata Consulting, what does this TM have to do with you, and what are you going to do when you get involved?

Although they are very reluctant to admit it. But it has to be said that those companies banded together and formed this DVD forum. A few of them, it's embarrassing.

The DVD burning standard itself is divided into three categories, five specifications, of which DVD+R/R is the burning specification proposed by Fengyu Electronics, DVD-R/R is the specification launched by the pioneer company, and the specification launched by Dongzhi Company is DVD-RAM, where R is a theoretical specification, and has not yet been successfully studied, and RAM will eventually be replaced by R.

In fact, AIA is still working on DVD-audio. Both DVD music drives, wind and rain electronics are still researching DVDs. Both DVD video drives, but none of these were successful. It is not possible to implement it for the time being.

However, the three specifications of DVD+R, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM constitute the competition of current burning standards. Originally, DVD+R was at a disadvantage, with the fewest companies following this standard and the most companies following Higashi's RAM standard.

But now, everything has changed, and DVD+R is about to become the mainstream, so the other two standards, and the derived norms, will be difficult to implement.

It just so happens that they themselves have also joined forces, in order to fight the wind and rain electronically them. Originally, it was still in an advantage, but suddenly the advantage was reversed.

For now, they have to work together to implement a standard for DVD burning, otherwise they will fail completely.

But now the question arises, which standard to enforce?

The two sides are just cooperating, but cooperation must be equal, everyone is a big company, and the technology is good, there is no reason to implement each other's standards, and give up their own standards, right?

So Tozhi, Sony, Pioneer, Hewlett-Packard and other companies gathered together to discuss a solution, the purpose of which was the same, to make the other party compromise.

They have exactly the same idea, and now they are bound to fail if they are separated, and they can continue to fight when they cooperate. See who can't bear the concessions first, and whoever fails.

Higashiyuki cooperates with Sony, and Sony has a large optical disc production line, and has Sony-Columbia Pictures and Time Warner, and Toyuki is a shareholder of Time-Warner.

Pioneer also has a large-scale optical disc production line, as well as the support of Hewlett-Packard, which is the world's top in the application of laser technology. Moreover, HP also has a computer company, which is also the world's top computer company, and attaches great importance to the development of DVD drives in the future.

The two sides have engaged in in-depth negotiations, but both have to pursue speed. Because they know that the sooner they join forces and set standards, the sooner they can start technical cooperation against the companies of the DVD Forum.

In the end, it was Hewlett-Packard that made concessions first, asking the technology of the DVD drive to be shared with their company for free, and then turned to support the company of Tozhi, so the pioneer company sat on the wax.

In order not to be kicked out, they had to agree to temporarily implement the DVD-RAM standard and abandon the promotion of the DVD-R standard, but they would not give up the research.

So they set the direction and decided to follow the example of the DVD forum and set up an alliance, called (DVD Alliance), and at the same time, several companies have mobilized their connections and united some other large consumer electronics companies to join in and do technical research together to fight the DVD forum.

Most of the companies that have advantages in DVD technology have joined the DVD forum, and they can only attract some second-tier companies, but the scale has finally risen, which is much better than only a few companies joining.

The DVD Alliance has just been established, and it immediately announced that it will continue to research and promote the DVD-RAM standard, and declare that the DVD-RAM standard is the best, most practical and correct standard. The implication is that the DVD+R standard promoted by the DVD forum is not as good as theirs.

The DVD forum also immediately launched a counterattack, comparing the capacity of the two sides, DVD+R has a capacity of 2.8G, while DVD-RAM has a capacity of only 2.58G, which is better and which is inferior, at a glance!

But in fact, these numbers are theoretical, and they can be completed in the real room, but they cannot be mass-produced at all, that is, the technology of both sides is immature. It's just that once which standard is accepted by more people, then which one is a big step ahead in technology research and development, and the future profits will be very huge.

At this point, the DVD industry has entered an era of two heroes.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )

ps: The first update, thanks to Sprite for making tea, animators, and Amizai. , Haohao Da, Freedom Glory 1 and other book friends voted for the monthly ticket. The last day is a double monthly pass, let's see if there is anything else? There is another chapter later
