Their loss, our gain.

One of our semi-local1 video rental stores is getting rid of their VHS stock. This is disappointing, because it means they'll only have DVDs, and the sound quality is worse on DVD2.

But they're getting rid of their VHS catalog by selling it for $1-2 per tape!

In the last ten days or so, we have acquired:Barbie as Rapunzel3

I assume the sound is only better on VHS if the tape is in very good condition?

I would say that's an incorrect assumption.

So what does make the difference? Most of my DVDs sound better that most of my VHS tapes (though admittedly I don't have the same programme on both in many cases to compare fairly).

You mean besides that it's digital, and anything digital is not going to have as good a sound quality as an analog recording?:-P

Oh, good. Now I don't have to post anything about it. I was thinking of doing a movie quotes thing using only lines from movies we just bought.
