Why do I buy orig? Because of the quality. Having said that, I think I will not be buying as many as I have been buying.
The reason: I've just come back from a day of viewing and comparing HTPC, upconverted DVDs, and D-VHS, and standard DVDs of course.
I am sorry to say that the D-VHS format decisively blew away the others. I was hoping that it wouldn't, but it did. The difference is large (technically up to 600%). I'm trying my best not to exaggerate and just state my observations as simply as I can. Let me just say that it was quite annoying, for all of us, to go back to the standard DVDs and HTPC. We pulled out the best demo discs with the best transfers...no dice. We just wanted to watch the HD format.
