Maybe you've never put a SINGLE FINGERPRINT on a DVD.
Most players go absolutely wacky.

"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
for the "extra" features of VCR (signal input,
timer, etc.) 'course we've
seen that setting the clock of the timer crosses
over the threshold of
competency of much of the public.
Notice that nowhere did I mention video
quality.
Napster proved
conclusively that nobody cares. ;)
Seriously. Superior video is not driving the
market at all.
Very true.
But abused DVD produces a better signal than abused
VCR, just as
abused audio CD produces better sound than abused
cassette tape.
