Sure, the DVD disc will survive repeat playings way better than a VHS tape - if you don't crack the fragile disc in half, something I'd love to see somebody even accomplish on purpose with a VHS tape.
Sure, DVDs have a clearer picture, but I'm one of those people who has nostalgia attached to a bit of crackle and tracking in my entertainment. All of the other advantages that people say about DVDs don't really matter to me that much. July 5, - Aha! You've just named exactly the reason why I prefer DVDs over VHS tapes: the special features. Maybe VHS tapes will stick around because libraries offer video players in rooms to watch the VHS there (at least, my library does.) I don't know, do all libraries have media watching rooms? I'll bet for the locals who don't have a computer and maybe don't even have the internet, the ability to go to the library and watch movies is great. Of course, I speak as somebody who has a personal computer and Netflix. Many people have their own personal computers to watch movies online on something like Netflix, and I'm sure it's a similar problem for libraries as for DVD and VHS rental places: they're losing their patrons.

Maybe it's a combination of all three?Īt any rate, libraries are going to have to update and maybe reinvent themselves if they want to compete with the other forms of movie-watching available these days. I'm not sure if this is because I live in a small town, because libraries are usually slow to update things if they still work well the old way, or if it's because my local library relies mostly on donations to get new stock. July 5, - My library's the same way! They have some DVDs, but the majority of their video selection is still on VHS.

I only buy the full boxed sets, though, not the individual DVDs, so for stuff that isn't completed enough to release a boxed set yet, I like to record it.

Yet again, I don't know about anybody else out there, but when I love a TV series, I support it and am excited to buy the DVD release. Naturally, people don't want anybody to have the ability to do that these days, or they might not go out and buy the official DVD release. I don't know about you, but when I record something, it is because I want to keep it for good. In fact, most people require TiVo or some other digital recording device that makes a temporary copy for them to be able to record at all. I think the article nailed this one on the head: VHS tapes and VCRs are still around right now because they give anybody the ability to just record off of their TV.ĭVD discs and DVD players, thanks in part to worrying about illegal copying and selling of bootlegged DVDs, have made it difficult for the average person to copy a DVD, or to record right off of their TV anymore.
