Default Though not related to audio, might as well ask: Are VCR's going the same route as tape decks?

The thing is, however, is that many obscure yet excellent films will
probably never get converted into DVD format.


VCRs are not just for playing back precorded tapes.

Umm, you mean the same route as LP players?

Do you even have to ask?

;-)

The nearest Blockbuster (probably the largest and busiest in my state) is
overwhelmingly DVD-oriented for new releases.


BTW, VCRs will have a longer life as time-shifting devices than as players
of prerecorded movies.

The relevant word here is "obscure".

Is the movie "Little Big Man", for example, in DVD form?


Just like has been happening with vinyl, obscure recordings that aren't
re-released commercially, will be recorded to DVD by amateurs.

VCR as a playback-only medium is already dead no? :P But it will
continue to be useful in places with no Tivo(non-US) as a recording
medium.

Get the gear to transfer your vids to a dvd recorder, then you can do your
own on your home computer.
