How is DVD different from VHS?
Aside from the obvious difference that DVD Video is a disc and VHS is a tape cartridge, DVD Video discs provide viewers with superior video images that are twice as clear as those from VHS videotape. DVD Video technology uses up to 500 lines of horizontal image resolution versus the 240 lines of horizontal resolution used in VHS. This results in noticeably sharper pictures. Because of its digital storage capacity, DVD Video also delivers a quality of sound that VHS never could. Discreet Dolby Digital surround sound (on certain titles) can recreate the kind of aural experience of the cinema at home, so youll actually feel like youre part of the movie. PLUS, due to DVDs incredible storage capacity, the DVD disc can hold extra features like multiple languages, multiple sub-titles, documentaries, commentary tracks, deleted scenes, cast and crew biographies, trailers, music clips and a variety of other special features that enhance the collectibility and your enjoyment of the movie.
