Look, Iīm not saying the DVD isnīt a good thing, Iīm just saying the VHS wasnīt as bad as you make it out to be. I prefer the VHS, amongst other things, because of its smooth running even when damaged. And I hate all the crap I canīt bypass no matter how many times I press FF or Menu on a DVD.
With VHS, I was in control.
I'll grant you, the anti-piracy spiel they stick on DVDs is annoying, mostly because I know that people who've pirated the DVD don't need to put up with it.

But I've never seen a VHS that can match the amount of content on a special edition DVD.
And also, in physical terms, I can fit two entire series of a program like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or House into the space taken up by a single VHS. That works out at 12 DVDs, so a lot more content in the same space.
In my opinion there's no competition whatsoever. VHS might not have been [censored], but DVD outdoes it in every category, though personal experience may vary.
