Boom. Nail hit right on the head. It's an education problem. And I've
seen this many times over the years. Some people don't like change.

If I may interject, this is the way to go. 1080p Blu-ray file
structure burned to cheapo DVD+R media. It's brilliant for short
films. And longer discs are just as easy, you know. Blu-ray burners
are cheap now, and the media are not really that expensive anymore.
As for the "files are the future" argument, consider this. Yes,
optical media may have compatibility issues, but the same can be said
for any digital format. Just because you've saved out an H.264 movie
in an MP4 container does not mean that your work is going to look the
same when it's exhibited. Software has quirks, end of story. I can't
tell you how exhausted I am over the perennial Quicktime for Windows
bug that results in screwed up contrast due to a super insanely
obscure setting nested four dialogs deep in the interface.
I'll be much more confident about using multimedia files once
Hollywood has a standard for that.
