I know that he has said no to VOD, but as I said in a previous post a while back, that would make much better business sense for the small DVD firms like this. He is no doubt going to miss out on sales of some discs that have now gone OOP because fans sometimes take a while to mull over purchases, others do not find out about a film until after it has been released on DVD. Instead, they either pirate the disc or pay big money to second hand sellers, none of which benefits CR.
I feel that offering 1000 pressed discs as limited editions, perhaps with some extra features will get fast sales, then offering the release as VOD DVD-R means that fans do not miss out just because they did not move fast enough and he continues to make money on the discs.
