DVD was introduced in 1995, and is still with us today (in 2017) as a fantastic digital video entertainment medium. Although I've posted the introduction portion of this demo DVD before, here is the entire narrated section of the disc that Sony released in 1999, upscaled to 720p. Hope you enjoy it!

The databits channel is pleased to provide you with the best in new tech, vintage and oddity gadgets, media formats, repair projects, electronic experiments and restorations of thrift store finds. There are also many "how to" and instructional titles. The goal is to search through garage sales, antique malls and resale shops for gadgets you didn't know existed, electronic toys you had as a kid, stereo or turntables your parents used or a film projector your school used to teach you valuable lessons. Typically we produce one video a week with several trips to a thrift store per month. Sometimes, through research, an item is searched for on ebay and purchased for review. A list of some of the most popular items watched here on the channel are: record cutting on various materials, DLP television repairs, VCR's, Camcorders, turntables, record players, records, car reviews and dictation equipment.

adam medbery I guess you can say it at least one of the formats of the future considering DVDs are still being bought today! Either renting them on Redbox or copies still being sold! I remember when the average DVD player was sold for $700! We find bought an RCA when the price was down to $125. The first DVD we bought was The Matrix

And, DVDs are still quite popular even though most people have HDTVs now. DVD video is generally 540p/i which your 720p+ TV can use with component video or HDMI. That's not too shabby for a 22 year old video format.

In theory Blu Ray should have replaced DVD by 2008 but it didn't, DVD isn't a high definition format but generally looks great upscaled to 1080p. At my local Meijer there's only a small selection of Blu Ray movies including even fewer 4K Blu Ray but about 3 aisles full of DVDs of movies and TV series.

Of course, what they're not mentioning is the fact that DVD features the ability to not let you skip certain things. As soon as I heard about that (which was around 1999) I knew some company would make it so the DVD played commercials that you could not skip. For me, I didn't see such a thing until 2005 but I think I was actually lucky. (Note: I'm not counting anti-piracy warnings/commercials as commercials, but rather a commercial for an actual product). Also, let's not discuss region encoding. Overall, though, DVD's are great and I have a nice big collection, which is smaller than quite a few collections I've seen. Also, thanks, Databits, for posting this. And for a demo video plugging Sony kit, I thought it was quite good.

Nice demonstration video. I love the way Sony made the demo DVD for consumers who bought the DVD player. What they said in the video, the difference in the audio on the DVD is either stereo or Dolby 5.1 surround sound. I have my Sony SQ decoder model SQD-1000 from 1972 which was a quadraphonic decoder where you can get four channels on them. It also requires playing all of your quadraphonic albums in SQ, QS and CD-4. I also tried out the Dolby 5.1 surround sound process and it does fine, but I don't know if my SQ decoder won't decodes Dolby 5.1, THX or DTS audio which isn't compatible.

I've always wondered what causes a DVD to get scratched after ONE play. Let's say, a brand-new disc w/ a flawless data side. One puts it in the player, watches it through & it comes out w/ scratches &/or dings. I mean, is the laser head striking the surface during playback? That's always been a pet-peeve & why I liked to backup my DVDs.
