How is dvds better then vhs i never had a vhs tape stop in the middle of the movie or skip?

I think if you take care of a VHS tape and a DVD, the DVD has many better qualities. The sound and picture is far superior. As long as the DVD is cared for, it doesn't wear out over time. Being able to freeze a shot with safety, lighter, easy to store a large number of DVD’s. The lower cost of both the DVD and the player. Being able to choose chapters, extra features including interactive games. No time wasted winding back tapes. No concerns at present of replacement parts. The quality of DVD’s and players continue to improve. Where as VHS machines have come to a halt, mainly because it’s the end of the line for them. The large number of DVD's now available. There are less moving parts, therefore less to go wrong. You can multi-code a DVD player, viewing DVD’s from around the world. DVD players are in general less expensive than equivalent VHS machines. Depending on what the damage is, it is possible to repair a DVD.
Although I think the life of the DVD is numbered too, because of the advancement of computer technology the VHS is the dinosaur of this time. I hate to say that because I have a stack of VHS tapes dating back I guess twenty years and a machine that just isn’t worth repairing or replacing.
