substitute LP for DVD and CD for HD-DVD/blueray.

However, IMNSHO HDTV is too little an improvement to dump DVDs or even
laserdiscs. It's only twice as sharp as the old crappy NTSC and still needs
to improve at least fivefold to even approach film quality.

When the next technology after HDTV comes along then I'll start replacing
my laserdiscs and DVDs.
