Even that is doubtful. It'll be a price driven process. All over the world
there are millions? of old standard 8mm movie cameras. Good luck buying
film. I have a couple of CED disk players and 200 movies. Good luck
getting
parts. Some people still have Beta VCRs. I haven't seen tape for a long
time. Obsolescence is now a fact of life.

The thing is 8mm cameras are MUCH more hassle to make and watch movies,
camcorders caught on quickly because of the convenience factor, you can
record something and watch it moments later, make copies at home to send to
relatives, etc. CED never really caught on, I only ever ran into one person
who owned one even in their heyday if you can even call it that. Beta is
another format that never attained widespread use, sure they sold a decent
number of them, but compared to VHS machines it was about zilch. VHS is a
good example of why I think CRT's will stick around for a while, it's been
effectively obsolete for what, close to 10 years now? DVD players are
cheaper and offer far superior performance and have been for at least a few
years now yet VHS clings to life. It's well on it's way to obsolesence but
even so it'll be around for a few more years.
