Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Recorder with 100 GB Hard Drive Recording
DVD or VCR?
DVD players are a fine choice of purchase and are more likely chosen over VCR's. DVD players are more advanced and tend to be more expensive because of its superiority. In order to use a DVD system compact discs are needed (DVD's). These are also expensive, as VHS tapes once were. The prices are increased as a new release comes out in stores. A DVD player would also be considered costly due to its rather convenient storage. It is flat and elongated, therefore easy to store in slender storage areas and most likely will go unnoticed.  <br />      <br />VCR's, compared to DVD players, are considerably inexpensive. They have been around for several years and their value has decreased. The tapes (VHS's) are even cheaper at the present time due to the lack of purchase. An old DVD would most likely be more expensive than a new VHS tape. VCR's are bigger, wider and bulkier than DVD players and is suggestively another reason why a VCR costs less.   <br />      <br />It seems that a DVD player allows us to save a great deal of time because of its rapidity. With the push of a button it can go directly to the scene of choice. It is also able to fast forward and rewind at different paces. You can skip all the previews in no time and begin watching your movie right away. In all, the DVD player has amazing alacrity. <br />      <br />In comparison with a DVD player, a VCR is much slower. It tends to take at least five minutes to completely rewind. With a VCR there is also a wait through previews. Although the previews can be skipped, you can't go directly to the movie without fast forwarding. VCR's don't have the speed of a DVD. <br />      <br />DVD players provide a few things that make it a first choice over VCR's. It provides accessibility to the many extras that a DVD maintains. Some DVD's have movie extras such as deleted scenes and games, which a VHS doesn't have. With a DVD player it is possible to download movies onto a compact disc when it is unavailable in stores.Whereas, with a VCR the only thing that can be done is to tape the movie from off of the television. A DVD player also provides more clarity. As long as the DVD isn't scratched you will be able to watch a movie without any problems. In contrast a VCR can have tracking problems and the tape could end up breaking inside the VCR by its film getting tangled in the inside. In the end you can have a VCR, which is of good quality and cheaper, but slower and lacks updated technology or a DVD player that is of good quality, expensive and faster. <br /> <br />
