For some bizarre reason, Spielberg is holding off the relase of most of his films on DVD. So far only The Color Purple, 1941, and Amistad have been released on DVD. Nobody, except for Spielberg, knows why. In fact most of the Dreamworks people were baffled that Saving Private Ryan was coming out on laser disc, but not on DVD. Hopefully soon though we'll get the Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD.

: : I do not have a DVD player and so I'm not up on the technology or on what films are available or not. However, from reading this forum I know that the Indy flicks are not out on DVD yet and I have a question.
: : I thought I read somewhere recently that Steven Spielberg has not made any of his films available on DVD. Is this so or is it just the Indy flicks that we're still waiting on? If Spielberg isn't letting his films go out on DVD yet does anyone know why?
: : The way Spielberg and Lucas embrace new technology I would think they'd be the first to release their films on any new format.
: : Is the delay some sort of marketing scheme? Are they waiting for more people to switch over to DVD?

: : Or am I completely wrong about Spielberg holding back his movies?

: now that ya mention DVD I been wondering if I can watch a DVD disk on my Win98 puter. Jesd got one... On commercials I see people putting a DVD disk into their laptop and watching a movie and stuff and I know that has to be available on Win98!!!
