In the digital era of convergent media, the most obvious about the change of cinema is the storage which rely on celluloid that you can touch in the past. Now, however, it is stored as electronic packets of 1s and 0s which is virtual. The changes of the cinema is not only about the film storage, but also the production，post-production, exhibition and distribution which is the main part of the film industry structure. In the era of celluloid, the four steps of movie is relatively independent and has its sequence. In digital movie, whereas, the connection and integration among four parts of industry structure are ever close.

Occasionally, people use to go out and rent DVD’s to watch a specific movie from rental stores. Advancement in technology has brought a sufficient change in customer’s behaviors, today DVD rental stores have almost gone. Moreover, by time we saw enormous increase in channels being provided by cable providers, but today even that has been replaced by streaming media devices, thus my time, role of cable providers might also disappear due to the introduction of devices such as Netflix, Apple TV etc. “DVD sales have also been hit. The Los Angeles-based Digital Entertainment Group estimates DVD sales in 2008 fell 8% to $21.6 billion from a year earlier, while DVD rentals were flat.” Charny, Ben. "Viewers Tap Free Web Content."

Nowadays, technology is commonplace in everyday life of many families. People read books on digital readers, they listen to music on phones, and are even able to watch their favorite TV shows on their tablets through a popular service Netflix. They download apps to help with everything-cooking, running, driving, and entertaining. Digital goods and services are becoming more and more integrated into people's lives.

Perhaps most importantly, the Internet offers a new way of doing business. A virtual market-place where customers can, at the push of a button, select goods, place an order and pay using a secure electronic transaction.

File sharing is a widely-used process that allows users to download and upload different types of files and share them with other users either over the internet or on a specific network. Almost as soon as file sharing was introduced and gained popularity with the public it began to raise questions regarding copyright infringement, and the first major lawsuit to deal with file sharing quickly followed. Although that case was decided almost 15 years ago, file sharing continues to remain popular and also continues to raise questions about copyright and intellectual property.

During the years we have seen so much progress with technology, we have seen advancements in the media aspect (VHS, DVD 's, and television), cell phones and the internet. But the one I find that isn 't as recognized as most in my opinion would be DVD 's. DVD 's have expanded so much since their release in 1996, they have become more detailed, high def, and affordable compared to other technology costs. During this research I will try and help you learn the history of the DVD, the knowledge of how DVD 's were created, and the different types of DVD 's there are.

The television and film industries have always had a fascinating relationship. Television was first seen as a threat to the film industry. Eventually, though, the television industry became a medium with multiple goals while the film industry established itself as an almost exclusive form of entertainment. These two separate yet connected industries have experience both fragmentation and convergence issues throughout their lifetimes. The interesting thing about these two industries is, they have in the past and continue to use each other in different manners that both display fragmentation and convergence together and in their respected industry. A form of convergence for the film industry is when a movie is played on television. Here is content being distributed over a completely different technological medium. When television shows a movie commercial, this is an example of fragmentation as the television is giving audience different kinds of commercial that appeal to a wider audience and is not catered to specific audience but implemented as a popular choice, rather than a specific type of commercial such as a car commercial or a beer commercial. Unlike the music industry, the response to the internet from both industry has been quite different.

Further, with the evolution of Internet and enterprise data centers, the nature of data circulating on the Internet has also undergone a tremendous change. Data transfer in the form of video and audio is increasing at a tremendous pace[2]. Moreover, different sources of data (e.g.- mobile, tablet PCs) have placed considerable pressure on modern networks. The current capacities of network switches do not support the transfer of these mass amounts of data. Moreover, with advent of social media, amount of data generated on websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn has reached humungous levels.

The most powerful technique seen in modern video compression is described as inter-frame compression, and it allows for many of the pixels of a video to simply be “repeated”, rather than replaced. While pure static may never be the same frame-by-frame, most videos will have some captured colors that appear the same between each frame captured. In order to save space, most modern standards can tell a computer to simply ‘replicate’ that color, instead of create it once again, in a much more fluid process, requiring much less data. Modern MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
