Movie studios and TV networks that sell made-on-demand DVDs through Amazon.com’s CustomFlix subsidiary will soon be able to offer digital downloads.
The downloads will be offered through Amazon’s new video download service, Unbox, and should be available in early 2007, the company said.
CustomFlix Labs Inc. produces licensed DVDs only when a customer orders one, rather than forcing its suppliers to risk producing thousands of copies that go unsold. CustomFlix already sells DVDs of some networks’ archived shows, including NBC’s "Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show," "Antiques Roadshow" from PBS and some CBS News programs.
Media companies will be able to offer their content in digital form for no extra cost, CustomFlix spokeswoman Stacey Hurwitz said. Consumers will likely pay a few dollars less for downloads than they do for DVDs, she said.
