While many of us still have VHS tapes that we care about, especially in cases of home movies or films that have never been released in any other format, the idea of combining a VHS recorder with a Blu-ray player seems odd for one specific reason: the existence of D-VHS. While it is way to late to think about such things, I would have liked a D-Theater compatible D-VHS/Blu-ray combo. Such a move could have revived interest to D-VHS, being the HDTV-compatible recording format that it is, while still letting people watch VHS and S-VHS tapes on the HDTV's in relatively decent quality.
How come no company put two and two together and made a D-VHS/Blu-ray combo?
