I used to collect/buy audio cds.....still do...though my collection is still less than 500 cds....
I always wanted to collect my favorite movies....and DVD gave me the most convenient media....
I found .....
VHS(tapes) accumulate mold...rots and loose clarity upon repeated playback.......doesn't last longer than expected....stopped buying after 4 VHS purchases...

LDs too big and inconvenient...I always thought that a smaller version will come soon....

Like audio cds.... I get a "high" watching my fav movies and seeing other "extras" .....plus the excellent video and audio quality blows me away!

seeing and comparing the same scene on a VCD and DVD of X-files R1(the movie) converted me into a dvd fanatic..

One more thing to consider: it's possible that DVDs might go the same way as LDs.

And don't forget to check my post for the thread "Why do you buy orig?"

MiKeBiBbY · « **Reply #76 on:** Apr 01, 2004 at 04:58 PM »

most probably everybody here in pinoydvd is pretty much aware of the fact that eventually, our precious collection will be replaced by something better due to advancements in technology (i.e. HD-DVD).

but what we have TODAY is the best technology could offer and i won't let the possibilities stop me from enjoying my dvds.

peace.

When that day comes be sure to get the "backward compatible" and dominating format . For me I make my own DVDs...my own masterpiece!

When I look at what other generations consider "precious" and the fact that we ignore much of that, it makes me wonder if there is any relevance in this.

For example, a few years back, local distributors began selling classical and world music CDs at 75 percent off because no one wanted to buy them. So I did, and managed to get hundreds of brand new classical works at a fraction of a cost. A few friends and relatives said that I did not invest wisely, and that more sales will take place in the future.

Today, there are no more sales, and distributors are importing much less non-mainstream music.

The same is probably taking place for DVDs. I feel most collectors buy mostly movies that everyone else is watching.

is it always better to collect R1 dvds than R3? coz as they say R1 have better features than R3 and sometimes the video and audio quality is better. thanks.

I hardly collect these days, maybe later. But there was a time I'd collect DVDs for the following reasons:

(1) To complete a series or sequels/prequals

(2) To watch it at a future time (which I never did)

(3) To complete Oscar winners (which remains in the 20% level)

(4) To complete a Disney collection for my kid (never ending) and his kids maybe.

Other than these, I just buy that titles that appeal to me from time to time.

I love movies. I remember my brother taking me to Manila to watch the Bruce Lee triple feature. I was a kid, but I sat through that movie marathon and loved it.

I used to collect movies on beta and VHS but fungus ruined 'em all.
Heartbreaking.
VCDs are not too good but I do have a collection.

DVDs are the best. Sound. Picture. You know what I'm talking about. And if I don't watch DVDs, I'll get eyestrain reading books...

viper · « **Reply #83 on:** Jul 26, 2005 at 01:39 PM »

With proper handling, it will last longer than VHS. Better quality than VCDs wag lang tatamaan ng DVD rot.

Euphoric feeling for the most part. Especially, if you know your the only person (well, at least i think i do) who has that title.

Trying to catch up on memorable shows in the past.

Completing a certain genre or subject matter of films. Please refer to my Wanted list to see what sparks my interests.

Easy access to titles not available before in other format.

galet ako sa pera.

ranran · « **Reply #86 on:** Aug 28, 2005 at 10:29 PM »

i've been a movie fan all my life, and collecting my favorite movies in DVD is the best way to relive them and share them with my kids in the future.

Same here. My love for movies was influenced mainly by my cousins when I was 8 years old. Although, I doubt that they could've imagined the extent to which I am spending for DVD's right now.

As a movie buff, and have an appetite for collecting a lot of stuff. I found DVD collecting as the best home movie collecting out there right now!!!

11 days after since I joined this forum

Still active and proud to say.. new titles are piling to add up in my collection

Why do I collect DVDs... honestly I don't know... I guess I can blame the first issue of The Matrix, it's where it all started for me.
