You got that right, Jim. But why just DVD?! Some of us still have VHS.

Sorry about that. Actually I do too. But the VHS will soon join the 8 track players and tapes on the shelf collecting dust. And let's not forget BetaMax too. [}:)] [;)] [8D]

Hasn't that program been on VHS for years? I got a copy as part of an Easter gift this year.

That I don't know, but very well could be. But think about this, the quality of the VHS will deteriorate over time but the DVD disk if protected will keep a quality pic for longer than our lifetime. [:)]
