Making the transition from VHS to DVD

In 1988 Yamaha had come out with a optical disc player that could handle any disc on the market. It played CD's, 8 inch and 12 inch laser discs and the smaller Video Compact Disc. (A low-res version of a DVD.) 

It wasn't until 1996 / 1997 that the first DVD players would hit the US market. VHS was phased out in 2006 with The History of Violence being the last film released on VHS by a major Hollywood production.
