“That doesn’t surprise me,” said Mark Horak, executive vice president and general manager of Warner Home Video, Asia Pacific and Latin America. “But at least now a consumer there has a choice of buying a legitimate copy, of higher quality and with all the extras, for not much more.”The Mandarin-language DVDs cost more than what counterfeit DVDs typically sell for.

not be offered online for download for a minimum
of six weeks and sometimes much longer.

CinemaNow’s technology allows consumers to
download the Full DVD including all the extras
and menus and burn them to a standard DVD which
can then be watched on your TV using any DVD player.

Currently Cinemanow is the only online movie service
that has this technology. Apple is working on a
solution which will not be available until next
year. Movielink also has something in the works
but is not willing to comment on a timeline. No
word from Amazon.

I love playing him, and it’s a challenge.”
