Porn Valley- Earlier today LFP announced that it would release the first adult title on the Blu-Ray DVD format.
In a statement released to the media, LFP Video Group said it will partner with New Media Adult Entertainment to distribute the title but didn’t mention it by name. LFP just said the title will feature adult star Jenna Haze in a film that will be released this summer and be available in stores throughout the country. LFP said the movie will also be offered in other formats including HD-DVD and DVD-WMV.
“LFP leads the way in adult entertainment and it is only fitting that we are the first to market with an adult film in this exciting new format,” said Michael H. Klein, President, LFP Video Group, LLC.
Interestingly, the LFP press release doesn’t mention the title of the movie which is Jenna Haze’s Oil Orgy.
But no sooner had LFP put the story out that Vivid fed a story to AVN announcing that it would be the first to release a movie on Blu-ray.
Only Vivid’s claiming its release of Debbie Does Dallas is the first adult title replicated in a licensed Blu-ray facility. Which is to say LFP’s is not.
“What we have at Vivid is a fully AACS licensed and encrypted Blu-ray disc that will play on any player,” Scott Giovanini, the company’s head of product development, told AVN.
“Up until recently, they weren’t letting adult companies get licenses; that’s why our Blu-ray version of Debbie Does Dallas is a few weeks late getting to market. We recently got the license; the fact that they relented was a surprise to all of us.”
The story goes on to say that the Internet-based company CDGirls.com has been offering two of its titles on Blu-ray since January, including the Haze movie, while burning the discs in-house without licensed copy protection.
Jenna Haze’s Oil Orgy, is due for a wide release in early June through a distribution deal with LFP Video, the article goes on to say.
However, Giovanini said, Vivid is the only company to go through the proper channels to produce a true Blu-ray disc and went through over 25 replicators before finding a facility that would handle adult content. The facility is rumored to be located overseas.
