Follow the money trail. No one in the movie industry has any desire to move to a strict DD format or even primary DD format. Retail stores (Like Best Buy) hate Digital Distribution. It just cuts into their bottom line and product lines.

No one in the industry has any reason to NOT support Blu-Ray right now. If you want movies to show off that new TV you just bought (In all of it's glory)? You need to get a Blu-Ray player. All you see is HD TVs for sale now and the Blu-Ray movie rack is rapidly expanding. It's only a matter of time until it's a full blown takeover.

Digital Distribution is several, several years away from mainstream viability and usage. It also will require a mindset change in consumers and more reliability of hardware. Which only increases the amount of time until it can reach the mainstream consumer.

exactly:

and since Blu-Ray also play's DVD's there is no waste of their existing DVD collection. HVD was being used mainly for the movie industry, not for consumer use, so that make's it pretty much a non issue for blu-ray because by the time HVD get's to the point of consumer adoption Blu-Ray may still be advanced to its HV evolution anyway "BR-HV"
