[edit] Analogue / Digital
I think Analogue / Digital classification of formats should be done. Have you any idea on how to do this? I think to add two columns (Analogue / Digital) and obviously to leave the two already existing rows (Magnetic / Optical) but I don't know how to do this. Please collaborate.

[edit] 8 mm film and Super 8 mm film?
Should 8 mm film and Super 8 mm film be added to this template? If not, why not? appzter 03:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- 8 mm film isn't really a home video format. Super 8 looks like it should be added. Fresheneesz 22:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of DVD from the template
I thought I'd make a topic here to discuss the matter, so I can fully explain the reasoning behind removing DVD in favor of the DVD-Video article.
The basic issue is thus: we do not link to articles on the media itself unless that article also contains information on the video format(s) used on that media. For example, we have links for Video CD, Super Video CD, even CD Video, but we do not link to the Compact Disc article. With the current rewrites to the DVD article and the creation of a separate DVD-Video article the appropriate link to include is DVD-Video, not DVD. If something changes, such as a sub-categorization by media type, then we should include both DVD and Compact Disc in the template to be consistent. -- Y|yukichigai (ramble argue check) 00:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
