This is the first I've heard of this. I sold off my large personal VHS collection of classic films just over a year ago, figuring I'd eventually be able to replace all of those titles on DVD... but was starting to worry it would never happen. But quite a few of those are in this first batch of 151... looking forward to learning what else WB will release on DVD. 
 
this really made my day—thanks!

How they arrive at the number doesn't make a lot of sense but this Variety article says Warners will be releasing as many as 5000 titles in all:

Hello all,

 

I want to revisit for a moment our discussion of films that were once available on VHS that have never come out on DVD.  Warner Bros has just released several titles that have not made it to DVD until now.  Unfortunately they are only available though Warner Bros. website only. L

There are some great titles in there though…

Abe Lincoln in Illinois

King of the Roaring Twenties

Heroes for Sale

The Mating Game

 

There are plenty of others too.  I just wish they could be purchased a bit easier.  Credit card orders can be a real hassle as many of you probably know.

 

All the best,
