There is a real chance consumers will react to both with a big yawn.

Home videotape recording was a revolutionary product that everyone wanted.
On the other hand, the new DVD formats offer so small an increment in
display quality over a good 480-P player on an HDTV screen, I think few
people will care enough to upgrade. At least they can afford to wait and
see which new format survives.


Once you see a Hi Def DVD properly connected to a compliant HDV set, you
won't consider the difference between that and up-converted 480P, to be
a "yawn."
