Remember 8 track? Cassette killed it. How long did it take?
Vinyl was killed (vinylfiles need not respond) by CD in about
four years.
VHS was killed by DVD in the space of 4-5 years.
So, once Blu-HD-Ray-DVD is released, how long will
DVD persist? My guess is (owing to the numbers of DVD
machines, the acceptability of the format and the precarious
nature of the blu-ray, HD-DVD war, DVD should last another
8-10 years once the other two get released.
