You're both like myself. I own thousands of cd's, but no dvd at all, for the
same reasons. First, I don't have the time to watch them, as they require
special attention, unlike cd's, that you can listen to while doing other things.
And then, even if I do have the time, I'd probably watch it once and then leave
it at the shelf.
However, at least here in my country, there are a lot of people just on the
opposite side: they only buy videos, no more cd's. And these guys are usually
the ones who own home theaters or high end video systems.
