Are VCRs going to become obsolete because of DVD players?
Not overnight, but it may eventually happen. The advantages of DVD are its quality and extra features. Additionally, a DVD will not wear with age like a videotape will. But DVD recorders are extremely expensive right now, and it will take a while before the demand for them drives costs down to VCR levels. Still, depending on its success, DVDs may eventually replace VCRs all together.
