The key point that was missed in that discussion, I think, is that LD was
never more than a niche format that attracted technology geeks (like me).
DVD's small size and low price managed to break through to the VHS market,
which is where the majority of people were. All the tech issues, some of
which were (and are) valid concerns, didn't matter to people who
thought recording 3 movies on one tape was a pretty cool thing to do.
Size and price did matter.
