Summary: Don't wait for blue-ray
Review: As you probably know D-VHS is a video tape with 6x the picture of DVD and 20x the picture of regualar VHS. Some say if you want to play and record high definition just wait for HD-DVD or Blue ray. HD-DVD are not coming in 2003 there isn't even a small chance of that since the format isn't even finalized. Playback only HD-DVD will be out in 2005 at the very earliest and probably sometime a bit later like 2007. HD-DVD recorders or blu-ray won't be out till about 2 or 3 years after playback only HD-DVD which will probably be around 2010. So if you want to watch and record HD movies anytime this decade I suggest buy D-VHS. Course you can wast half your life waiting then wait for blu-ray but if you want high definition anytime soon stick with D-VHS.

Summary: Wait for Blu-Ray
Review: If you have a HDTV go ahead and buy this VCR.

but...

Blu-Ray techonogy will alow you to record 3.5 hours of HDTV on one optical disc, 11 hours of normal TV, plus play all your CDs and DVDs. Blu-Ray will be out on the market Spring 2003.

If you need something to record TV, get a S-VHS ET VCR...

Summary: Records in High Definition
Review: This D-VHS cassete holds 44gb and can record 3.5 hours of High Definition. Current DVDs resolution of 720 x 480 may be much better than VHS's 320 x 240 and S-VHS's 380 x 380 but it is nothing compared to D-VHSs resolution of 1920 x 1080. D-VHS has 6x the resolution of DVD and 25x the resoluition of regualar VHS. HD-DVDs are several years away so D-VHS is the only way to buy high definition. DVD recorders can only record in doby stero while D-VHS records it doby digital. Prerecorded D-VHS movies and blank 50gb cassetes will be out this year. But this is a very good way to record movies.
