DVDs deliver extended cut of profit to studios
sebimeyer on 2004/02/25:
„Now that DVD player sales outnumber VHS recorder sales and most stores or rental shops offer DVDs nearly exclusively, the medium has obviously made it into the mainstream. This, of course, means that even more movies are released on DVD and doors are opened for marketing practices that put the consumer at a disadvantage.“

You can't watch DVDs you bought
Brian on 2004/02/22:
„Imagine, for instance, something potentially sold at Radio Shack that would connect between the DVD player and your TV screen and that would make a non-digital copy of the DVD onto VHS. On the one hand, something like this is supposedly legal. But, it's hard to see how such a device is significantly different from the very function of 321's software which is now illegal.“

Backbeat
John F. on 2004/02/20:
„I used to own Backbeat back before I went to DVD in 1998. I started a VHS ban when I bought my DVD player in 1998 and that basically shut me out of watching my Backbeat video. Polygram Entertainment didn't have the movie on DVD until just last year...“

Movie Music
Buffy on 2004/02/04:
„I have a DVD/VHS player at the table where I piece my quilts. I realized the other day that I choose the same movies over and over as I piece. I thought at first that it was because I was listening to them, and could follow without having to watch the screen.“

Kanadehon Chushingura
Eric on 2004/01/15:
„Saturdays, when mom is out of the house, I share jidai-geki(period/costume film) with Grace, courtesy of IFC, and the fact that I can run a DVD player with Winnie the Pooh in screening room A (my downstairs sort-of-office), and a VHS player with Spot or Little Bear in screening room B (my upstairs bedroom). When we watched Kurasawa's The Hidden Fortress (Kakushi Toride No San-Akunin) we talked about not just the two comic peasants, but of things hidden in plain sight -- gold in sticks, the princess as a mute, the servant as princess, and the general as peasant. Hidding in plain sight is how Abenakis survived from the 5th Abenaki War into the 1960s.“

Of Winters Past
Randy on 2003/12/24:
„My mother was a real genius. We were truly blessed.After reading this, and after talking with my Mom, I looked around my house, and considered how easy life is in terms of what my Mother describes - I have running hot and cold water, toilets and showers, a dishwasher, a furnace, a washer and dryer, stove and fridge, microwave, computer, television, CD player, tape player, VHS player, DVD player; oh, and clothes and food, too. I never have to step on a cold floor, and only need one extra blanket in the winter. My furnace hums along quietly, and I seldom think about it.“

So Far
k_chan on 2003/08/29:
„My dorm is really nice, it has an industrial kitchen, like five lounges. I haven't been to the basement yet but it's supposed to have a big screen tv and dvd/vhs player and some game tables. My room mate is really nice though i don't see much of her, she mostly hangs out with the other japanese kids and i have been really busy. Today we were matriculated into willamette.“

The Turk
Norm on 2003/08/01:
„Now meet the Turk, a turbaned automaton from the 1770's that not only played the game but also defeated virtually everybody it came up against in matches across Europe. In Raymond Bernard's highly entertaining 1927 silent classic "The Chess Player," released this week on DVD and VHS by Milestone, the vanquished include Catherine the Great, who has the device shot shortly before dawn for the crime of lèse-majesté.“
