Do you DVR your sports?

I doubt that blu-rays will be penetrated enough in homes enough in 3-4 years to get rid of DVD - unless blu-ray players are going to be $30-50 for the cheap ones that have all the blu-ray specification features and not just the cheapest ones to implement.

I certainly see nothing wrong with DVDs and upconversion setups as upconverting dvd players are now cheap and dvds can be cheap if you wait on those releases that hit the market initially more expensive than your average dvd price.

I agree. I'd really like a blu-ray player, but until they're under $100, I'm happy enough with my upconverting dvd player.

The difference in quality between VHS and DVD is MUCH greater than DVD to Blu-Ray.

The difference in quality between VHS and DVD is MUCH greater than DVD to Blu-Ray.

It's not just that. The difference in EVERYTHING between VHS & DVD > DVD & BD. DVD introduced chapters, multiple audio languages and subtitles, deleted scenes, multiple angles, commentary tracks, etc etc. BD has many of those same things, just a bit more of them and some use BD-Live, which as of now isn't a big selling point.

I DVR classic sports, and then make a copy to a DVD. I was still taping things to VHS for the same purpose before we had a DVR. For archiving purposes, DVD is the way to go. Ultimately, the quality of what ends up on DVD is limited by the source quality, and DVR will always be superior to VHS in that repsect.
