DVD vs. VHS

Hmmmm? Seems like a no-brainer to me. They both have shortcomings in the picture department but you can see the those of VHS on a standard TV. For DVD I need to stare at a good monitor. Soundwise, there's no contest.

The only reason I keep my VHS tapes are sentimental value.

It's like the LP/CD argument except it makes far less sense. ;-)

:-?

Every player I've seen has a resume feature of some sort.

Heh... That's what manuals are for. ;-)

See, that's the problem.

Almost identical.

You surely can't be suggesting that LD replicates the original perfectly?


Anyways, Eyso has a good point. A worthy film will keep your attention regardless of the format it's on.
