    I am currently transferring my large VHS collection to DVD+R disks via a
    standalone DVD recorder from a VCR. But will the disks play in the new
    format Blu-ray or HD players? All info I've run across says "yes." Any
    truth? Or am I wasting my time and money?

    it's been announced by the makers of both formats that the new machines
    will be backwards compatible -- your old DVDs will play on the new
    machines.

    Many thanks to you and kaydigi for the reassurance. I'll keep going; only
    130 to go!!!any bets I'll discover I don't really want to keep a lot of
    them.

    Cheers, Hugh

    In the Year of the Dog, the Great and Powerful Hugh Doherty declared:
    Yes, though watching VHS-quality video on a HiDef set is rather like
    drinking Schlitz from a crystal wine glass.

    Since his first name is Sean, and since I can't be bothered to do
    the necessary googling, I am going to assume knows what he's talking
    about.
