„Far from it. Until there is a single standard for recordable DVD, VCRs will continue to proliferate. Digital Video Recorders (DVR) devices like TiVo and Replay have filled an admirable job but are not portable.“

„The first regards what is called "revenue sharing", in which major studios agree to provide large video retailers like Blockbuster with large price concessions on the number of units purchased for rental, in return for a share of the revenues derived from such rentals. For example, a popular title might be priced to small retailers at $50, but provided to Blockbuster for $25, with Blockbuster buying a considerable number of copies of the title to assure its ability to serve customer demands. Small video retailers do not have the money to buy and maintain such large stocks of titles, and argued that this constitutes collusion, price-fixing, and unfair business practices on the part of Blockbuster and the studios.“http://www.mmislueck.com/archives/062802.htm - Cached
„A reader has alerted us that Universal's VHS version Hitchcock's 1960 Psycho has been placed on moratorium, supposedly to make way for the video release of Gus Van Sant's 1998 remake. The staff has not been able to find any further information on this, nor could we find any press releases from Universal on the matter, but a quick check of major video retailers on the Web indicates that, indeed, the recently released widescreen VHS of Psycho Collector's Edition appears to be unavailable. For whatever reason, placing a classic like Psycho on moratorium is, well -- insane.“http://www.dvdjournal.com/previousnews/1998/ news199812.html - Cached

„Only Consumer Reports still devotes a credible effort to testing VCRs, including a separate report on VCR/DVD combo players. Other reviewers, such as CNet and Sound & Vision, present single-product reviews, usually for unusual or groundbreaking products. This results in little agreement among experts on the best new VCRs, especially since several sites and publications, like Consumer Guide, are still recommending discontinued models.“http://www.consumersearch.com/www/electronics/vcrs/ fullstory.html - Cached
„Most digital videos are copied to VHS tapes because VHS VCRs are just about everywhere. With the DV tape in the camcorder, you just connect it to a VHS deck. You get the best results using the S-VHS connectors if the deck is an S-VHS deck.“http://www.shortcourses.com/video/chapter10.htm - Cached
„Walt Crawford: DVD Today and Tomorrow DVD Today and Tomorrow Copyright © 2000 Walt Crawford Originally presented at an ALA ACRL Program, July 8, 2000 I started writing about DVD in April 1996, not too long after the format was adopted as a compromise standard. I said at the time that it would probably be important to libraries in "a year or three"--and I'd say that was a reasonable projection. Today, I'd like to review the basics of DVD, where it is today, its relation to some other media, and what I think might and might not happen.“http://home.att.net/~wcc.libmedx/dvdspch.htm - Cached
„MPAA answer: Much like the difference between audio cassettes and CDs or between VHS tapes and DVDs, digital television broadcasts in conjunction with new digital television sets will provide a much higher quality of picture and sound to consumers. Q: What is the BPDG? MPAA answer: The Broadcast Protection Discussion Group is a working group comprised of a large number of content providers, television broadcasters, consumer electronics manufacturers, Information Technology companies, interested individuals and consumer activists.“http://bpdg.blogs.eff.org/archives/000148.html - Cached
„If there is anyone out there who has not switched to DVD -- clinging somehow to the notion that VHS video cassettes will survive -- I would like to sell you my vast laser disc collection. Technology changes. Some change with it.“http://www.meridianmagazine.com/arts/ 020904cleanprint.html - Cached
„Universal only just announced that they would begin puttingout DVDs in a few months, and they've only announced their initial titles.I'd say your best bet right now is to be patient and see what comes up.You could also visit their website and send off an e-mail message with youDVD suggestions. In the meantime, I will add Dragon to the DVD Wish Listand pass on your suggestion...)“http://www.laserrot.com/pieceofmind/archived/1997/ pom9707.html - Cached
„Looks like my post about our Replay TV is already out of date. Sony's next version of their Play Station will include a Digital Video Recorder with a hard drive of up to 160 Gig. It will be a gaming system, DVD Recorder, DVR, and a stereo system.“http://www.themannings.org/soapbox_archive/ 2003_10.html#000526 - Cached
