I've noticed (much to my chagrin) that there are virtually no Art Instruction videos available in the DVD format. Seems to me that VHS is rapidly going the way of the 8-track tape. Why are artist still releasing new instruction videos on VHS cassette? Are DVDs more expensive to make? I'm mystified.

I have become quite spoiled by the DVD format. Our old video cassette recorder is somewhere in the attic. I have been quite tempted to buy recently released instruction videos by artists whom I admire, however, I just am not willing to revert back to VHS. Can anyone shed any light on this?
