Hi Elizabeth, I actually buy DVD's too, but only the ones that I know I'll want the full surround effects for. Otherwise, I rent them and back them up to SVHS. The quality of the SVHS tapes IMO are quite good (SVHS=400 lines of resolution versus DVD's 500). So until the DVD burners come WAY down in price, I guess my SVHS collection will continue to grow !! Come to think of it, the "old video format" is alive and well in my household !!
