These are DVDs, but just barely. Fortunately, I only bought the Raiders dvd and noticed that it was not recorded from the laserdisc, but was indeed from the VCD (or it was recorded from the laserdisc but only used VCD-quality mpeg 1 compression.) In any case, the resolution and compression is definitely not beyond vcd quality and to my eyes is worse than a the new vhs tape. The sound is a bit harsh and less spacious than true surround and belies its vcd-quality compression scheme.

However, on the positive side, random access to scenes saves time and tape wear while "researching" props, costume and other details of the film.

It really is your choice depending on what you are looking for.
