No, sorry, I probably wasn't clear.  I meant that with DVD you can 
fast
forward, rewind and freeze frame and you are not going to strain your
equipment or the DVD itself.  With a VCR tape (which is the format 
that
my old Zep vids are on), if I am always fast forwarding, rewinding and
freezing the tape, then the video tape is going to wear out, and the 
video
machine takes a strain as well.  Just ask JR, he's got some pornos 
where
there are some worn spots on the tape! (j/k, JR!)  The reason is that 
with
a DVD there is nothing touching the medium - just a beam of low
level laser.  The first play will always look like the last play, as 
long
as you take care of the storage and handling of your DVD disks.

hope that makes more sense!
