Netflix has announced that it was splitting its DVD/Blu-ray-by-mail service off from its streaming video service and expecting its DVD-rental business to decline not long ago. However, it’s reported by Domain Name Wire that Netflix has acquired the DVD.com domain name. Now DVD.com redirects Netflix’s signup page for DVD subscriptions.

Netflix said that this acquisition aimed to improve use experience of its DVD rental business in the United States as one Netflix representative said, “In the U.S. we look to provide a great experience for our members, those who have DVD only, streaming only and those who have both.” Obviously, Netflix is trying a new solution to make everyone happy after its hated Qwikster split. Under Netflix’s new plan, user ratings will be shared by both sites. And Netflix won’t show any result for those who don’t use the DVD subscription to search movies while DVD-only results will be shown to those who have subscribed to the DVD service. This mean now DVD users have their own website to order their DVDs instead of having to navigate through the Netflix site that is full of streaming promotions.

Why Netflix focuses so much at its DVD business now? In fact, the DVD business is more lucrative than online streaming video service at present. According to a report, Netflix had 11.1 million DVD subscribers in Q4 2011. These DVD consumers contribute a revenue of $370 million while Netflix make only $476 million from 21.6 million streaming video subscribers.

According to a research conducted by HIS, Americans will watch more movies online in 2012 than they will on DVD or Blu-ray. HIS reported that the online movie consumption will be increased to 3.4 billion views or transactions at the end of this year while the consumption of DVD and Blu-ray may be just 2.4 billion views.

This figure means that online video will experience a real outbreak period because not long ago, Telecompetitor reported that Americans watched only 1.4 billion movies from online sites. Increase by over 135 percent in 2012? Is that possible? Considering the current situation of online video business, it’s likely that online video consumption will achieve that “goal”. Of course, Netflix is still the leader in online video business will contribute much to reach that figure. Following are Amazon, Verizon and Redbox, Hulu, UltraViolet, Dish Network, HBO Go, etc.

And it’s clear that DVD and Blu-ray will still have a place in the market the same as CDs (MP3 has led to the decrease of CD). But in general, watching videos online is still a better way to get access to video entertainment, especially for young people and those who have good networks.

Aziz Ansari, the popular stand-up comedian, begin to offer his stand-up special Dangerously Delicious on his website with no DRM. Consumers can stream or download the show from his site with only 5 dollars. Aziz is following the footsteps of Louis C.K., who released his DRM-free stand-up show that cost for 5 dollars and this DRM-free experiment has been proved to be a great success (See more at: http://blog.aimersoft.com/louis-ckdrm-free-experiment-pays-off/)

In the past, content providers always think that without DRM protection, the content can be easily pirated, which will reduce the benefit. However, after Louis C.K.’s great success, more and more people realize that consumers are willing to buy products sold at a reasonable price even if they can be easily copied and transferred. Most consumers are honest, huh?

Why the price is appealing? As we know, when a special is released on video-on-demand or DVD, it generally costs about $20. Of course, most of that money goes to the content distributor instead of the comedian. However, most consumers don’t want to buy a special for more than $15 when they can get it for only $5. That’s a main reason why the DRM-free experiment achieved a great success.

Will more and more comedians continue to find success operating independently? Now it seems they will. And let’s look forward to a cheaper and DRM-free product any day.

People always complain about Android device diversity, which is believed to hurt Android. Now the good news is coming: Netflix is accessible on nearly 1000 different Android devices, according to a blog post published on the Netflix Tech Blog.

Yeah, the so-called “Android Fragmentation” is true. According to a report conducted in March, 93.9 percent of the install base was on Android 2.x, among which Gingerbread (v2.3.x) accounts for 62 percent and Froyo (v2.2) for 25.3 percent. The newest V4.X, Ice Cream Sandwich only occupies 1.2 percent. You can imagine how wide the fragmentation is now. Some people argue that the diversity of Android devices gives consumers more choices and also increases the competition among Android OEMs.

Though Netflix claims now it supports about 1000 different Android devices, of course Netflix can’t test for all devices all the time. Amol Kher, engineering manager for Netflix Android, iOS and AppleTV teams, says that Netflix uses a homegrown solution for automating and testing content streaming via its HTML wrapper on various Android devices. And below are his explanations.

If youre willing to pay an extra fee, now you can play your DVD movies on your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android, etc. with Wal-Mart’s new launched “Disc-to-digital” service.

On Tuesday, Wal-Mart said that starting April 16, Wal-Mart customers will be able to convert their DVDs to digital copies that can be streamed on Internet-connected devices like TVs, tablets, game consoles, smartphones, etc. by paying $2 to $5 for each. This service is currently backed by five studios: Paramount, Sony, Fox, Universal and Warner Bros.

This disc-to-digital service will allows Wal-Mart consumers to watch the DVD movies they purchased on lots of portable devices while keeping the original DVD discs with just a little extra money.

This service is powered by Wal-Mart’s video streaming technology subsidiary Vudu. To use this service, customers need to create a Vudu account because the digital copies are stored in Vudu. This disc-to-digital service marks Wal-Mart’s support of UltraViolet, the online movie technology supported by many big movie studios and technology companies. Wal-Mart’s support of UltraViolet will definitely provide a boost to UltraViolet and help it compete with Apple’s iCoud movie service. The five big movie studios said that Wal-Mart’s backing was a great advance for UltraViolet and the disc-to-digital option will acclimate consumers to store DVD movies on line.

Consumers can just take their DVD discs to Wal-Mart photo centers and the employees will add the digital copy version to Vudu. Consumers then can access to the digital copies by logging into Vudu. At present, not every DVD movie can be converted because the movie studios don’t have the digital copies of all movies they provide. Just note that DVD rented from Redbox, Netflix, Blockbuster, etc. won’t be accepted. To rip Redbox and Netflix DVD rentals, you can refer to Rip Redbox DVD Rentals or Rip Netflix DVD.
