Oh, and one more thing - to continue beating the dead horse...
15 years ago my grandfather brought his old home movies to a local
duplication house, who transfered them to VHS. It was great being
able to pop them in the VCR whenever we wanted, and I remember him
thinking - "cool, now there's no reason to keep the films". I had
to convince him to hang on to them. Recently I converted them all
to DVD for the family to enjoy. No way would I use the VHS tapes
as source material for the DVDs. The original film, naturally,
had the best quality from which to draw. I'm guessing that 10
years from now I'll be making HD transfers of the same films,
they'll look even better and make today's DVD's irrelevant.
