Exactly! Ah logic. The masses seem to be running low on that.

VHS was discontinued due to the popular use of DVD & Blu-Ray. Even streaming.

@@twinmillario1452 Not to mention VHS tapes get chewed up easily

What Irony.

That's actually true. Wow. Never thought of that, but you're absolutely right. I'd give you a delta if this was change my view. That was a great point. But that doesn't negate the fact the actual quality is better. It's up to how they want to market it. But you could literally see and hear the difference for yourself after you bought the item. The commercial can be VHS grade. But the actual thing that you bought is better than VHS grade.

Watch a movie right on your computer

This is PI RA CY!!

I think a major reason for that is that Blu-ray was just introduced too late to catch on fully in my opinion. Blu-rays and HD DVD's came out around 2006 when most people made the final switch from VHS (which 2006 was the year most stores stopped selling them) to DVD for watching movies. Both HD DVD and Blu-ray competed to sell who would replace DVD's. The Second Format War ended in 2008 with Blu-ray emerging as the winner, most likely due to HD DVD failing to catch on due to it being confused with regular DVD's. However, instead of completely replacing DVD, Blu-ray would coexist with DVD's and this is probably for a few reasons. 1:The Timing: Time goes by so fast nowadays! It was only a couple of years after people switched from VHS to DVD so I highly doubt people wanted to now throw away their DVD's just to replace them with Blu-ray. It would have been a huge waste of time and money doing so (and this is coming form someone who still owns a ton of VHS tapes) 2: The Late 2000s Recession: The economy started going down the toilet around late 2007 but really felt no one felt it until 2008 when the Housing Market crash and several major banks failed. Back then, most people would not of had enough money to buy newer movies and the newest technology when it first came out. 3: The Rise of Digital Streaming: I hate to say this, but, both DVD's and Blu-ray are now just as obsolete as VHS thanks to the rise of digital streaming sites such as Netflix and Hulu. Why would someone want to buy a DVD or Blu-ray if they can stream it on Netflix or Hulu and watch it on their computer, tablet, or smart tv? I guess that's why movie rental stores such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video have gone out of business. In my opinion, had Blu-ray been invented in the late 1990s alongside DVD, both would've competed to seen who would replace VHS and Blu-ray would have likely won the battle.

Not for long. Many stores are gradually phasing out the DVD in favor of Blu-Ray. In another few years, Blu-Ray will be phased out in favor of 4K.

What’s Blueray DVD and 4k DVD? Is that like the digital version except you have to get up to put a disc in?

I've never purchased a blu-ray disc, and I used DVD right from the moment we switched from VHS up until the moment I switched to online streaming. TBH I've never really been able to see a noticeable difference between DVD and Blu-Ray anyway, so I didn't see the point in switching, and getting a more expensive reader to be able to play more expensive discs

@@DP-hy4vh not really, DVD and Blu-ray still selling much more than 4K, and even Disney knows that and stopped selling 4K anymore

90's forever!

***** *X-TREEEEEEEEEEEEEM

GNARLY.

I wonder how it'd feel like 50 years from now.

I can tell that this commerical debuted somewhere in late 1997/early 1998, since Warner Bros. didn't had it's iconic CGI logo until November 1998.

SMH at the insanity you just described. It's like, "This doesn't look as horrible as I remember, I've gotta make it blurrier!"

Fitz they stopped making 📼 since 2006 and vcr players in 2008.

I used to hate DVDs too when I was a kid, even though VHS was already discontinued by the time I was about 4 or 5 (2006-2007 or so), and for very similar reasons too. Apart from the fact that DVDs could be more easily damaged than VHSs (learned that the hard way) the DVD player I used the most as a kid was generally not very reliable either, especially with discs that were even the slightest scratched or smudged (for those wondering, it was the built in player on a 2004 Toshiba DVD, VCR, TV combo set, and as of now, it no longer works so I have an external DVD player hooked up to it now). In fact, true story, when I was in I think fourth grade (which was in the years 2011 and 2012), I actually wrote a paragraph about why I hated DVDs so much and preferred VHSs over them as a writing assignment.

@@nathancruz9172 no the last vcr was made in mid two thousand and sixteen/2016 by funai electric

@@bsanchez3563 👌🏻 I was talking about the 📼 tapes.

Sebizzar you mean baby 👶🏻 movies of ourselves from the past.

new philmz me too.

PeterEater98 me too. I’m super glad that I’m very nostalgic for 📀 and blu ray in the past and present, not to worrying about slowing internet on streaming service.

Same

@@compositefrog1811 plus dvd recorders are fun to collect and use.

@@bsanchez3563 yeahhhhh I stopped using dvd and I sold most of my dvds cause I think streaming is better

+The Tux Man I definitely don't know this person

Everything was bad in 90 if you wasnt a kid in this time lol

That's why it is still alive

***** I'm from Russia :) Why are you asking?)

***** Russia is a big friendly country!)) to be honest, the situation here is not so good now. Mainly, it is Barack Obama's fault, sorry :( So, how's life in USA? :)

Laughing at "Obama couldn't hold Putin's gym bag. ;-)", sounds funny :) We all do hope, you all will be okay! I have heard, it is gonna be a new president in your country - a women who has the same views as Obama does, even worth, is that true? I wish both countries were friends. Pay a visit to Russia someday, yay! We will be glad to see you, we love foreigners)) I live in Irkutsk so it is one of my favourite cities) But there are lots of other great cities and...I can't actually choose one xD Where do you live? And what is your fav city there?:) p.s. Exuse my mistakes if there were any)

When are the elections of a new president? What's the date?) I'm the type of person who tries to be optimistic. I believe the near future will be more..sunnier and safer, but who actually knows? :D What's your attitude? And are there any worthy candidates? I've heard about numerous Oklahoma's tornadoes. Fearfully, but terribly interesting! I've never seen any tornadoes... Omg, Boston is a very beautiful city! Architecture, views, colors... Lucky you!) How old are you? Do you live alone? Irkutsk is a great city too, but it doesn't fit me, if i can say so :) There are many old buildings (we try to save our old culture), museums and theatres... I dream of visiting Moscow or Saint-Petersburg, Moscow is the capital of Russia and S-P is just a large city with opportunities... Hah, my life goal is travelling, because I want to see/try/eat/take a picture of all and everything!)) What do you dream of most?)

***** it would be more comfortable to talk to) write me your mail and I will answer you there :)

lmao it was the loud sounds that always traumatized me damn

movies then were on tapes and the closest thing to DVD was Laserdisc which was not as popular but it was the size of a vinyl record

You can experience it at home bruh

KZfaq Red Subscription Service - Subscribe and pay me 10 bucks a month lol XD

Id love to know how the fbi can fine me if i live an ocean away

Funny thing is if you know where to look there are still old message boards where people argue that DVD will never overtake VHS and actually claim that VHS is superior and that DVD is hyped up garbage.

Lol, i need to see it

@@philipzamora4259 lol I was just reading a thread from January 2000 where some people were saying that

Max Payne I’m glad I grew up with 📀 and 💿, when I was born in 1997.

dvds are made for a dvd portbales

Paramount was one of the last studios to support DVD- they and Fox initially only released movies on DIVX.

George Powell actually rip DVD 1996-2003

WarthogRacer me too.

I just touched it last thursday

It is to me

DVD is 576p, not 480p.

576p is only in Europe, everywhere else it's 480p.

Eli The Other Computer Guy I have a PAL player which does 576 over HDMI. British video is a bit clearer, but the frame rate is 25.

it would have been around 480p seeing as this advert was showed on vhs tapes.

480i ntsc and 576i pal

แนนโน๊ะ ฝากตัวด้วยนะคะทุกคน me too.

Use a dvd recorder instead

Pokesanity *768x480

DVD is actually 576p not 480p

Holy shit. Have you ever heard of fucking PAL vs NTSC?

Furthermore do something more productive with your time instead of watching old commercials on the internet

WebVMan I have a laserdisc made for The Good Guys electronic stores that has DVD promos on it!
