True -- now -- but not exactly relevant to the original question.
Still, they do solve the problem.
Maybe you're just more relaxed than me.
Actually, I rarely watch DVDs or even TV for that matter :-). It's true
that not being able to skip the intro when loading a DVD in is a pain in
the neck.
Add that to much better localised seeking
Much better ? It's slow as as hell. Or maybe I don't understand what you
mean by this.
Much. So far we've never had a video tape destroyed completely -- though
there's still time. It's very easy to scratch a DVD so it won't play at all,
e.g. by putting it in while the drawer's closing and then trying to yank it
out again, or just leaving it around on the floor and letting the baby chew
it a bit. It's not at all uncommon to rent DVDs and find they won't play at
all either, and that's no fun when you have a demanding audience. Videos
sometimes have tracking problems, but you can always get _something_ out.
OK, I always put DVDs back in their boxes, and I've never rented one so
I can't tell about this (I did have bad experiences with CDs, though).
But I did borrow tapes that had terrible quality.
That little catch on the end of the tape works better than you might expect.
I suppose so but you still have to manually rewind it in, haven't you ?
