Hey Dave S. about your thoughts on VHS,
This is still the "dirty little secret" of the DVD world, and one which occasionally sets me off reminiscing fondly for the good old days of VHS tapes which, while offering relatively ratty picture quality, were pretty much bulletproof: they always worked no matter who you sent them to (except for overseas, but that's another story.)

You are forgetting about Hi-Band or SVHS tapes, other than not having instant access to the section you are looking for I find the quality of an SVHS tape shot with a three CCD Camera had no digital artifacts or other flaws inherent in the system.
Richard.
