As I mentioned before, I'd like to start building a library. But I did that years ago with VHS and now I'm sitting here planning to stick them all on eBay. So my question is... will the same thing happen with the DVDs I'd like to start collecting? Totally obsolete in a few years?

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. julie

Best AV magazine around. Keeps you up-to-date on the future of AV trends. Looks like HD-DVD and BlueRay are the front runners of the next generation (although not compatible with each other.) Video-on-demand is already here (and quite affordable in our area.) Sit back and enjoy your collection of 480i vids. Wait until things get sorted out. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to keep up. Hell, even the industry can't decide on standards - don't even get started on aspect ratios, refresh rates, up/down sampling, etc.....C
