Another issue with streaming is copyright. I can play my downloaded iTunes media anywhere, but I discovered last time I was in Canada that the show I'd purchased via Amazon (purchased, not rented) wouldn't play there for rights reasons. Really ticked me off.

I don't see dvds going anywhere anytime soon and I do love some of the streaming media, but there is always caution. You have to give up the cc and they charge every single month, so there are only a couple of sites I frequent. I just updated my workout room, since my television w/dvd/video player went out. Yes, a tv with built in dvd player and video player!! All of our other tvs were attached to blu ray dvd wifi players and one with a roku stick. So, I purchased a wifi TV for the workout room and was able to get some great content. Also, youtube has some good workouts available also, but you gotta look through it!! Also, I am doing more downloads now. This you can control because you may have a streaming site you like one day and GONE the next. It has happened.

I think they are going to go away - but not immediately. Think of the VHS - it died a slow death too. I remember it well here - people still liked VHS for certain reasons (was it the FF-ing? I can't remember). Producers did both for a long time.
I think it is too expensive to produce a DVD versus something online and eventually it will stop. Let's check back on this thread in five years and see what happened!

I haven't tried Cathe or any other instructor's streaming content, although I hope to one day. I don't see myself subscribing to multiple things, fitness or otherwise. What I have in mind with streaming content, is I do in fact own it and I can download it if I wish, and even burn it to a DVD, but I'm not buying the DVDs, just the streaming version. I have lot of Amazon streaming content that I have purchased; TV shows and movies. I would like to see more of that in the fitness realm, for those of us who do enjoy streaming.

It will stop. Easier to throw something in the cloud, which is a huge server than processing DVDs. That is why I am looking at instructors going forward who offer downloads, then I can put it on my stick, stick into my dvd or tv and workout from there. Those that are offering DVDs will eventually just offer downloads. I see Cathe doing this in near future. Downloads will replace DVDs permanently, along with streaming content you pay for.

I could go with downloads because they are in your possession...the medium is just a little different.
