Re: I like this idea, but...

Absolutely. I don't believe in media anymore, it's too much trouble to deal with. Especially when 500GB hard drives are 100$ these days. I'll buy a movie, but the format is just archival to me. I'll encode it and store the media somewhere safe. Digital distribution is the future, and you can back that up as much as you need.

Better yet, use usenet and download 720/1080p movies for free. Not that I'm advocating copyright infringement, but it is convenient.

I have no VHS movies, and I'm looking to get rid of my DVD's now.

Edit: Also, AppleTV offers 720p movies now as soon as they release the take 2 firmware update.
