The only real advantages I can see to the new technology are the obvious one of saving storage space and the less obvious one of eliminating the need to flip discs--if indeed that's the case. It's no big deal if you just want to see the movie straight through on the kind of disc that is formatted like a phonograph record (I can't remember the names of the two formats right now), but if you are using the other type, the disc-flipping and the wait for reinitialization can be a bit irritating, especially to a student audience. And if you're using the disc, as I do, in class and want to show clips back-to-back from different parts of the film, it can be very disruptive indeed.
