I think that DVD is alot better than a video as Videos are really bad quality and DVD are great quality.Also the sound is better on a DVD.
Which do you find better?

Videos: you can get 3/5 for 15/20 quid and unless you really want to watch the extras it's better getting a VHS copy.
The quality is slightly lower but to be honest if you notice then you need to get out more.
The drawbacks are that videos take up the space of about 3 dvds and if you want to own a series it's better to have it on DVD as episode selection is made much easier.
VHS for films you're not obsessed with knowing every little detail about though. :)

DVDs; you get more for your money. Take 'the simpsons, series 4', for example.
More extras than a sandwich made of chocolate. JOKE!!

You can link up a VCR to a DVD Recorder and transfer them easily enough.

But what about the movies that we have already recorded on VHS ?

As soon as it's possible to get a reasonably cheap DVD recorder, VHS tapes will die out.

What a stupid discussion of course DVD is better it's meant to be the succesor to videos and now dvd recorders are out eventually Video Recorders will be obsolete from homes in years to come.
It will be quite a while before I get a DVD recorder, because most things I record I only want to see the once, like if I am out and would end up missing 24. If I wanted to watch it repeatedly I would have gotten the boxset.
DVDs are far superior technology wise, but even they are technically obsolete with Blu Ray discs holding 50 GB of data on the same 8 cm sized optical discs. But as branding and public consciousness of DVD goes, it is here to stay for a long time yet.
I would be very unlikely to buy a pre recorded VHS now, but it could happen, especially if it was something older and not available on DVD. But I will have video cassette recorder for a long time to come, and in fact got a new one last week. I wanted a silver one to match my TV, DVD and Sky box.
