Which do you prefer, DVD or VCR?
I kind of prefer VHS tapes because they are way more durable then DVDs. I mean, if you drop a DVD it'll get scratched or broken very easily. Whereas with a tape you can drop it and it might damage the cartrige, but not always, and the actual tape media will still be fine.
Even though people say there is a big difference in picture quality, there really isn't. A VCR set up properly with the right connections can match a DVD player any day. Note that DVDs are NOT high definition.
Now, where there is a difference is in sound. DVDs have the capability of surround sound audio tracks, whereas only the most expensive VCRs had that capability.
Other then that...
Now that that's out of the way, time to set this straight.
VHS - 240 lines of resolution, analog, highly susceptible to generation loss, interlaced videoS-VHS - 400 lines of resolution, analog, records luminance and chrominance seperately, interlaced videoDVD - 480 lines of resolution, digital, progressive scan video
So, yeah, DVD pretty much kicks around even S-VHS, the older professional version of VHS, that was still two times better than VHS.
The label is the recorded part? I really hope you're kidding.PoorManQ45 wrote:Yep, it's much easier to repair a tape when the casing breaks.
Actually, DVDs arn't really harmed if you scratch the clear part. You can use one of the "DVD Repair" gizmos to fill it back in. Now, if you scratch the top of it, with the label, then you're screwed because that is the recorded part.
