DVD spending is stablising as the decline in prices decelerates. The East European market is catching up with the West. The market for VHS cassettes has all but disappeared completely. Growth in the DVD retail market was maintained in 2006, volume sales in Europe increasing by 10 per cent from 663.5m units in 2005 to 728.3m. Once again, however, the rise in the number of units sold did not fully translate into growth in value as the average consumer price of a retail DVD sank by eight per cent year-on-year from around €14.00 in 2005 to about €12.90 in 2006.

UK is leading the way in developing a genre of DVD programming that utilises DVD's potential for interactivity and commands premium prices Interactive DVD (iDVD) is essentially a game on a DVD. Created using the menu architecture on the DVD, content can be navigated via the user's remote control. To date, the most common use of iDVD functionality has been the quiz-based game. In common with traditional board games, most iDVDs are intended for communal use (although some titles cater for single players), distinguishing the format from most video games.
