What can DVD do that VHS videotape cant?
To begin with, the picture and sound quality of DVD are far superior to that of VHS. The discs wont wear out or degrade over time, as tape will. They cant be accidentally erased. Plus DVDs can have many extra features such as a choice of languages on the sound track, the ability to play back favorite sections instantly, special-effects playback (such as slow-motion), the choice of parental “locks” on objectionable scenes, and in some cases the ability to select different camera angles, such as in a filmed concert. The audio is better than that of a CD.
