Why is DVD worth investing in?
Durability: Tape is a great medium to shoot in but a poor one to store in. Tape heads wear on the tape during every viewing and chemical processes are at work destroying your tape even while it sits on a shelf. Tapes as little as ten years old could be in serious jeopardy from wear, disintegration, and magnetic fields. A normal VHS tape only offers 200-300 vertical lines of resolutions. A DVD, on the other hand, should last 100 years if properly cared for and allows a full 480 lines of resolution your picture is sharper, more detailed and very vivid. This means the image will be as good on the 100th year as it is the first time you watch it. DVD is also capable of sound quality that is on par with CD quality sound.
