IMO, DVD succeeded because:

1. The medium is physically light, compact and kinda familiar (looks like a CD)

2. Marketing, Marketing, MARKETING!!!

3. People finally started to realize that, for the most part, they weren't really re-playing their VHS recordings anyhow. (So why not just rent movies?)

4. For the few rare TV shows worth recording, we now have TIVO!
