You Should get a Dazzle so you can encode your video and emial it or post it on the web. Now you're going to tell me they don't have net access? Bummer.....tell them to get crackin!! My family loves the jpeg's and MPEG's I email and post for them to see. About every other week or so I whip out the Dazzle and update the family happenings.

Wow- your son can do that at two months - I'm impressed :-) To your list I'd add 4) The DVD standard must be universally accepted by the content owners. What's kept me from buying a DVD read-only player 'til now is that I can't buy these movies on open DVD: Star Trek Star Wars The Lion King By the time my six-month-old MUST have the King, I hope all this will be resolved. But never underestimate the stubbornness of a studio wedded to a losing standard (in this case Divx).

Tim, I have little doubt that DVD will be popular. The local Blockbuster sore said they will carry DVD on a trial basis. They said more and more customers are asking for them now. Some small video stores alreay have them for rent. I have a couple of friends have DVD players. Once they bought the players, they have been buying new DVD discs. The habit of buying music CDs will be carried over. DVDs will be as popular as music CDs and VHS tapes if not more and replacing them all plus other multi-media functions. There is no reason that the DVD players will not be sold at attractive prices very soon. The question is: will C-Cube sell more of their chips over competitors for DVD hardware?
