Streaming in quite inferior to dvd. It is rare that you do not get some jerkiness during the running time. Fast moving action scenes suffer from digital blur I have never once streamed Apple without the program stopping dead opr going though a prolonged "buffering' ; which is why I never use it anymore bruce ps two recent vhs acquisitions: SF 49ers Highlights from their Champoinship Season 88-89 (on dvd? doubt it) THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY - 1963 very hard to find on dvd

Generally speaking streaming works fine with my current setup. (I use Apple TV, high speed connection, and a wireless router) But glitches are not uncommon. Sometimes I have to reboot the modem, or the stream quality might drop out for a few seconds. Streaming varies depending on hardware, software, modem, router, internet speeds, and service. There's something to be said for the days of VHS/DVD, where the damn thing just worked as expected every time.

There's something to be said for the days of VHS/DVD, where the damn thing just worked as expected every time. Unless you're the one who gets called whenever it doesn't work as expected every time. Conditionally, I agree though. I remember a lot of commercial DVDs that would suddenly "stop working" after a few months. There'd be nothing visibly wrong with the disc, but it would fail to mount on any device (player, computer, etc.). And I noticed patterns by publisher, certain titles. So the problem must have been cheap pressings. This happened in the early days of the format. Overall DVD has been very reliable. VHS (and ßetamax) periodically had the problems almost any tape-based format has—tracking errors of all kinds, wrinkles and munches, clogged heads, etc. The people who made me cringe are those who'd record an entire week of TV on one tape at SuperExtendedHyperLongPlay. As a distribution format, VHS (and ßetamax) was pretty decent, but not so hot as a production format. CED was obsolete the day it hit the market. Flipbooks were better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_Electronic_Disc
