btw, is a DVD-R deck still going to be the standard 20 years from now?

no, but digital video in the form of DVD spec mpeg2 will be closer to standard then than analog beta

yes, it may, but beta is still better than VHS so VHS is out. BTW, Whats the news on those new HD DVD players? when are those supposed to be out?

pfft 3 - 6 years I'd guess :\

so I could spent 100 dollars right now and then in 3 to 6 years get the HD DVD stuff. or spent 300 dollars, and in 3 to 6 years get the HD DVD stuff.

so your logic is, beta is going to be gone in 3 to 6 years so buy something else for 200 more dollars that is ALSO going to be gone in 3 to 6 years.

no, DVD won't be gone in 3-6 years, HDDVD will have a long way to go in relplacing DVD by that time. But you're right, I was just suggesting that DVD-R would be better right now :\

for buying and watching movies, and anime and stuff definetly DVD. but the "I'll be obsolite in a few years" argument just isn't good enough to warrant the 200 extra bucks since DVD's as a whole will by obsolite by then too. but I do have some questions about DVD-R's. Does recording from a satelite to a DVD amplify block noise or anything like that?

of course not. I just wanted to know if anyone else here used them. Now would you care to explain why you tried to convince me otherwise?
