What do you think when consumer electronics proposed to develop D-VHS player/recorder supporting VC-1 & H.264?

Question

When both SMPTE and VCEG developed VC-1 and H.264, respectively, I am not sure when JVC, the developer of D-VHS, will redevelop to produce another model of D-VHS player/recorder supporting that new video codecs. Currently, D-VHS still supports old video codecs such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 for recording both standard and high definition digital video.

What do you think? What is your reaction when most consumer electronics company will develop a new D-VHS player/recorder supporting both old and new video codecs?

Answer 1

Both Blu-ray and HD-DVD support VC-1 and H.264.
No consumer will bother with tapes any more.
