As for "big, clunky", have you raised toddlers around VCR's & CD
players? The relative invitation to insertion of foreign objects is
amazing.
vendors and rental shops would not be flocking to
DVD. VHS cassettes &
players have always been a big, huge, clunky, temperamental-and-easily-
borked, slow-to-set-up PITA. DVD are none of those things.
"big, clunky": The size difference is NOT that much.
"slow-to-set-up": When used for playing pre-recorded materials, the setup
for VCR v DVD is IDENTICAL. All of the differences lie in setup needed But abused DVD produces a better signal than abused
VCR, just as
abused audio CD produces better sound than abused cassette tape.
Oh, I completely agree. I just meant that it's not germaine to the
question of market acceptance. More is the pity.
