True you get higher resolution, faster cue on scenes and other things. But if your kid is able to open the package and scratch it, no matter what you use to restore it, won't be the same. At least VHS had a plastic protection.
If I recall correctly, the firsts PC CD's were inside a plastic cover that you inserted into the PC, that way no fingerprint, dust, dirt or scratch will happen......

They were in protective cases, but that was also before a ton of advances in the technology to keep the spinning of the CD stable in the burn/read process.
You could still get into them and damage the disk if you wanted to back then.
Shame your DVD got messed up - guess you are going to have to put them on a higher shelf! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Let's just say they're no any more vulnerable to damage than tapes... my 18month old daughter has no problem lifting the plastic flap and yanking the innards out of a VHS cassette...
...not to mention I haven't had a DVD player eat one of my DVDs or have a DVD wear out from watching it too many times... [img]wink.gif[/img]

I was just about to say...
The pro's of a DVD vs. VHS definately outweigh the cons.

Amen. And you also really have to work pretty hard to damage a DVD badly enough to cause it not to play. Depending on the player of course - my Denon tends to be picky about a single fingerprint, whereas the Toshiba will play them right up to the point they're actually cracked.
