I am getting the 20 disk dvd collection of james bond and i was thinking about keeping both.

Like I know a lot of people that have a rather large VHS collection of movies, tv series and anime. (I used to be one of these). They would like to get the DVD version, but they don't want to throw out the investment that they all ready put in to their collection.
I found myself giving away most of my VHS tapes to a freind that still is an active VHS tape watcher.

someone else=vhs-------won
sony=blu-ray--------------lost (possibly....)
someone else=hd dvd---won
yeah i was too young when beta was around. i forgot when it came out.
the only way i can think of to convert vhs to dvd, is to use a videocard with VIVO or a tv tuner with capture.

| Most kids on this forum never used VHS, or anything else that uses a tape.
Betamax = JVC
There's also Video2000 (VCC); we used them a lot before we switched to VHS.
I also had a nice Sony Betamax VCR, but rarely used it. Everything was released on VHS over here.
Video2000 (VCC) = Philips/Grundig

| i don't recall it ever being called Digital Video Disc but i may be wrong. i was under the impression that "Digital Video Disc" was a misconception by the majority of people probably because of the DVD Video logo.
