Tapes offer much more storage space than discs. It is just the bulky, hard to use(sequel read instead of random), slow speed kills them.

Great. Now let me know when you can plug that ol' VHS tape into your PC. Yeah, I didn't think so.

Not to mention they get worn down, eaten, and all the already mentioned problems...

Prior to HD Tivo's/DVR's, DVHS was the only option to record HD off sat. I was pretty close to buying one myself...

This is a repost I think. Someone brought this up with the same wiki link a few weeks ago. Or days, I have lost my sense of time.

Yep. Although most DTheater offerings were under 25GB.

I-Robot is considered a reference title, and was only 21GB total.

Anyway you would need a D-VHS player! not you're standard VHS player... Also don't forget to rewind your tapes!

I saw like one thing online about those damm things but never ever saw one anywhere being sold or anyone owning them.

So who really cares

I won one. It's in my house. I've used it maybe 10 times. I have one movie, T2.

If I could figure out how to hook it up to my mac, I'd do a side business of dubbing old VHS to DVD for folks...

But I can't for the life of me get final cut pro to recognize it.
