I was just wondering, who still uses VHS these days and who use dvd's and if people can name the advantages / disadvantages of both
hope i get some replies on this topic

hey where's the option both
i use vhs and dvd... cause i have really a lot of vhs videos and it would take a long time to put that all on dvd..

DVD nowadays,,, but well my little neece and cousin are staying here sometimes,, and we have kids VHS,, so they could watch it... ,,, but i only use DVD..

rather useless poll
you mean to tell me some ppl still use vhs

I watch movies on DVDs
But I still use VHS to record soap operas on TV


Yep

soap operas here wipe your tears off

I watch DVD's

DVDs own it all

i'm using both dvd and vhs.

but vhs only for recording the tv programm

Using both still at the moment. But with the prices coming down on DVDs it'll only be a matter of time before I stop using VHS.

yeah still know some people who use vhs , most people still use it for recording stuff ya know it's not like everyone can afford a 600 euro dvd recorder =)

so it's not all useless

no question: dvd

haven't used my vhs-recorder for years ... dont like the image- and sound-quality

I Use DVD

Movies with a DVD player
But I don't have a DVD recorder at home so I still use VHS

using VHS at all time....

waiting till DVD recorders with good HDD's are affordable

i still use vhs but prefer dvd for sure

I prefer the poor picture and sound quality of the chunky and cumbersome VHS cassette.























yeah right

hehehe i think dvd is better in almost every way apart from the fact
that the prospect of recording things is a little harder for dvds

thought of another disadvantage, there's no ren and stimpy dvd

yeah Pr0n is always better on VHS.. brilliant nostalgic feeling

not really if u wanna see the good parts it takes to long for you get to your favorite scene cause u have to wind forward , and by the time u get there you're not intro it anymore
with dvd just one click and whoop you're there

BVD- i mean DVD's lolol dont use those btw

dont have tivo yet so i still use vhs to record shows

.. i use both DVD and VHS ..

I use DVD.

But my mum still uses VHS to record tv shows. And I think there are still some ppl who watch shows on VHS. I still see shows being rented out in store on VHS

Does that mean my BetaMax doesn't count?

DVD... All the way.

they only rent dvd's here nowdays ... all vhs are sold for like 2 euro's a piece.
so only dvd here

DVDs all the way !!!

is there even a contest in this. DVD = Superior quality. Plus they arent that much more. So why would you buy vhs these days

unless you still want to record television shows.

dvd recorders, or we have sky plus, with a built in hard drive to record stuff.

i download most of the shows i miss over torrent. eg. i have the entire 2005 season of docter who on my comp.



damn, fly and i are really spamming today...

I don't use any

it's not like everyone can afford these you know, so there is still a small contest going on. And alot of older people still prefer vhs , cause they know how it works
They don't wanna get all fancy.

I use both, but I record on VHS and watch DVD's

dude.... it's century of the dvd

like tapes and vhs become junk... i still have a vhs player to watch old movies etc but that's it everything works in dvd now

being in usa abdul you can try dvr as well (digital video recorder) rather cheap from your cable provider

no mobile phone as well , what's it with you , only you and your computer huh ?
better watch out that the others don't discover you have a computer

michcio is too cheap

Dvd's for me, cant even remember the last video i watched its been that long! However, i do still own videos but its only kids videos (no, not for me)

sure sure we believe you

I can honestly say i dont watch kids programmes (apart from Simpsons) etc..
Ok, maybe Dora The Explorer, but thats on DVD so it doesnt count...right?

i would hope you dont watch teletubbies

Er.. i did maybe 3 years ago but i was forced by my daughter! It was a case of watch it with her or deal with a tantrum...naturally, Teletubbies won!
Btw, i f**king hated watching it!

dvd all the way!

better quality, no rewinding and less space usage ^^

DVD's rock my world, such good Picutre and Audio quality!

i like vhs cuz im stuck in the 70's and ive never left my house j/k dvd's anyday

i know what you mean i had to go through with it when i was raising my daughter and barney too that pink homo

dvd for me

DVD - is the quality, VHS - is the history! My choice is DVD.

DVD for me because:

[1] Better quality video + audio
[2] Wide screen (16:9) format, which I love
[3] Fewer problems than VHS (e.g. degrading/stretching tape)

I very rarely record anything. If I do, I tend to capture it on my computer. Otherwise I use my DVD recorder. Unfortunately, this can only capture 1h10m in good quality (longer in a poorer quality - which isn't bad if you watch it on a TV).

My family still uses the VHS recorder to record stuff (rarely, though).

Unfortunately we don't have a HD recording system in South Africa - yet!
