Yet another DVD comment

Ok, so I wanted to pose another side to this fairly flat argument so far, as people play with the new technology like an unpinned hand grenade...

personally i really like dvd's, they store more, better quality, sound etc and also have the added features, although most of them are advertising materials, you can find some real gems. I have also found that they are a lot more resiliant to scratches than cd's and have lasted longer than tapes I got last year brand new.

Of course there are improvements to be made, their loading time and being able to skip the starting menu's (which is solved with a software crack) but we need to fully embrace dvd's in order to fully tell what needs to be done... personally I want DVD players with the buttons on the player so i can navigate the menu when i lose my remote for the uptenth time.

I know there are complaints about them in lectures but it's a process of education that should have been instituted at the university when DVD's started becoming the norm. I have sat in lectures where there was not one hiccup with a dvd because the lecturer had ripped the parts they wanted and put them all on one dvd... you could even put them on video. Personally I think someone needs to find out why those touch screens are so usless and why when you go to a mode it goes on, goes black then comes back on... has anyone else noticed that?

So don't hate on the new technology. Sure, like the old ones if you wish, but it is only set to improve and you don't want to be totally left in the dark do you?
