We're buying both DVD and VHS. We support DVD both in our Media Lab and in
the classroom although some faculty perfer to have avs operator support
when using DVD in the classroom. They're overwhelmed with the "choices"
offered on most DVD's such as the making of featurs, optional language
tracks, etc. , so doesn't seem we'll be killing off VHS anytime soon.
