Patrick,

As I packed up my film collection for the big move, I made an accurate counting of what I had and the various formats.

The first thought was "G-d, there is no F#*#*# way I am going to replace this stuff again with something else," and the second thought was "it is going to be years before many older films (still only on VHS) are going to be out on DVD, let alone HD DVD, so don't worry about it yet".

I have 400 DVDs (which replaced around 200 LDs and some 100 VHS tapes) and around 175 older films on tape. There is no way I am going to junk 400 DVDs for 400 new HD DVDs unless the quality is akin to switching between a Sanyo projector and fully tricked out Faroudja with one of their DVD players.
