Why are VCDs still popular in India?

Why are they? Don't give me any excuses about poverty and easier and cheaper medium to distribute. Bollywood already tries desperately to emulate Hollywood in every way imaginable, so then why not emulate Hollywood's love of decent picture quality. Bollywood should be pushing for higher standards on video qualty...because let's face, they're not shooting for higher standards in film making.

If you're going to make crock pot movies you can atleast ease the pain by not putting them on such a crock pot medium.

VCDs are good for quick home movies to watch on DVD players (if you're one of the 3 people alive, one of them being me, who doesn't own a DVD burner) but it's a terrible choice for watching a whole movie.

Unless someone has a better explanation (im guessing rampant piracy is helping the VCD situation) for why this atrocity to the eyes of Indian people all over...um..India occurs I will say...

...VCDs suck.
