Which of the following would you say is the best feature of the DVD?

A. It's compact

B. it has chapters to skip around to a section

C. It doesn't degrade (after repeated uses)

D. It can restore old videos for the next generation of viewers (like family)

E. It's cool technology

The best features of DVD cmpared to VHS would be:
higher resolution, won't degrade no matter how much you watch it, and no need to rewind. You still thinking about upgrading to DVD?

I've already upgraded to DVD a long time ago. I just heard someone tell me that DVD will start to wear out after about 1,000 uses. Is that true?

truthfully dvds start to wear out after about 1 use because nobody takes care of them..so i doubt anyone will get to 1k uses...who watches a movie 1k times anyway. yes people say i have seen that movie 1000 times but more like 20

If you burn a disc, watch it was and store it in good conditions, and don't watch it again for a while, how long will they last?

I'm curious...why are you asking these questions?

blu-ray fan002 · 01-23-2008, 03:20 AM

No reason in particular, just wondered. I want to start transferring some of my personal videos to Blu-ray but blank Blu-ray media is too expensive. I have so many personal videos that it will take me years to transfer everything so I was thinking of leaving some on standard DVDs until DVD becomes obselete, which is why I was asking how long DVDs would last.
