we have over 500 VHS cassettes and we too are starting to rebuild with DVD.
Theer has go to be someway to connect the VCR to the computer to burn a DVD. We have a DVD burner on my husbands system. I ahve noticed alot more of my favorite movie son DVD now in the dolalr bins.What I need ot get are the good copies of my favorites liek The NUNs story, the ODD COUPLE, Sunshine boys. I like the moies ofr the 40s, 50 and osme from the 60s.
I Am not so sure that teh DVD will go out as quickly as teh VHS. Of course the VHS hada long history as well.
If you think about it you can put two or three movies on one DVD and keep your collection small.
I dont think worrying about what will come down teh pike next is something to consider, I think just keeping the movies in any collection is the most important thing.
Now I was wonderinga botu the game memory chips that can hold movies as well... making duplicates in cross media might solve the question. at least your covered ona few fronts that way.
