Yeah, I'll probably do the same when the prices for DVD recorders and blank media come down enough. I'm sure the day will come when video tape is obsolete and everyone uses DVD to do recording.

:It is already possible to put video in mpeg2 format on a cdr disk and have
:it act as a dvd disc, with menus etc! That is only playable via a
:computer dvd rom player though.

I did that too. I ported my Music Video onto CD in 'VideoCD' format and I was able to do it in a way that my home DVD player can read and play it. Of course the quality is only as good as the original, and since all of our copies are from TV, they would never be as good as DVD from the production company.

Who knows, if I ever win the lotto I may purchase a copy of the original distribution videos on 3/4" tape and hire a firm to do it myself! :)
