Advantages: picture and sound quality, extra menus, DVDs released earlier

Disadvantages: DVDs slightly more expensive than videos

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the future of watching films at home, with its high quality picture and great sound (you may not see too much difference when using an older T.V but its still better).

DVD's boast many great qualities, which videos do not have, a great thing being that there is no need to rewind or fast forward anymore (you know how annoying that can be). Instead, you can choose the part of film you want to watch and there you go!

On many DVD's, you are given interactive menus, where you can browse through a number of extra features, which you just don't get on videos. The extra things may consist of deleted or extended scenes, games, commentary, interviews with directors and cast, film trailers, and even music videos from the soundtrack.

With DVD Players, you can change many things, such as subtitle language, audio language, zooming, bookmarking, and loads more. Imagine watching films in Hungarian!! It's really funny...unless of course, you are Hungarian :-)

Another great thing is that DVD's are often released months before videos, for example, Charlies Angels is out to buy on DVD now, but to get the video, you have to wait until September! (September 3rd)

Most DVD's are priced at around £16-20, (above the cost of the average video), but you pay for the extras and the fact that its probably out before the video will be, so its not so bad.
