A New DVD Format?

Just as I finally adjust to having DVDs instead of video tapes, Phil Miller tells us there is a battle brewing over a new and much better DVD format.

Similar to the battle between the VHS and Betamax videotape format that occured over 20 years ago, a similar battle is raging between competing digital video formats.

...The good thing is that the DVD's that I have now are supposedly going to be playable in the new players.

Well. That's a relief! I wouldn't want to have to buy yet another format of Three Days of the Condor.
