But you're talking about DVD and VHS as a video format.
CDROM / DVD / HD-DVD / BD are all usable as data, video, and audio formats. VHS is not.
If a salesman came to me at work and said "Hey, we've got this new tape carousel we'd like to demo for your mainframe, and we can fit 1TB per tape. But oh by the way it's not backwards compatible with your old tapes so you'll have to ditch them," I'd call security and have that madman escorted out the front door, with weapons drawn.
What do you propose, that every 5-7 years we go ahead and go through the processes of:
Convert our personal old format movies to the new format
Throwing out the old format footage
Throwing out our old format movies
Buying new format movies to replace the old ones
Throwing out our old format music
Buying new format music to replace the old ones
Backing up all of our data from all of our old format data discs
Throwing out our old format data discs
Creating new data discs in the new format
??
I'd need to take two weeks of vacation to do all that.
Plan B:
Tell BD to get fucked, and go with the product that has backwards compatibility.
Which sounds more feasible?
edit: fixed some spelling
