After 25 years the Compact Disc is still going strong, despite several abortive attempts to replace it with superior silver-disc-based technology. While I don't believe that DVD as mainstream technology will last as long as the CD has, I believe it will continue to be the mainstream home video technology for quite a few years more.
I think history provides substantial support for my opinion.
