Just about all of them.
I have hundreds of laserdiscs, most of them I ended up buying on DVD if I liked them enough and sold about 100 of the lds. Not that I think that LD is better than DVD, it is just an easier format, especially spacewise.
Same with VHS. Although I have well over 1000 tapes and can't replace them all.

I don't have a very big VHS collection, and I don't own any laserdiscs.
I replaced about 50% of my VHS collection so far. I usually replace the ones that have good extras. I'll eventually replace the other ones.

So far, I've replaced about 600 VHS tapes with DVDs - which means I have about 2000 VHS tapes still hanging around here, many of which may never show up on DVD.
There are probably anout 100 titles on DVD that I would have bought to replace VHS, but they are only out in p&s - and I refuse to buy anything that is not OAR.

I was going to say only 1 left out of over 100 VHS. Dances with Wolves: Director's Cut. Which will be replaced here shortly. But then someone mentions Star Wars Trilogy and Indiana Jones. Which is 6 more, and then reminds me of Speilberg and I had Schindler's List on VHS but alas no DVD yet. So now we are up to 8 total out of over 100.
One of my last ones to replace was From Dusk Til Dawn, and I got that free with the Tarintino release day a few months back.

I've replaced most of my VHS that I could replace, probably about least 30, plus a bunch more that I recorded myself. I have about 9 on VHS that I could replace but haven't. Usually, I replace them through Columbia House (which is also where I got most of the videos in the first place), so the cost isn't even that much.
Most of the others, such as Once Upon a Time in the West, The (original) Haunting, the Innocents, There Was a Crooked Man, and the Decline of Western Civilization I, I'll replace ASAP if and when they are released on DVD.

I never got into LDs or VHS. I own maybe twenty pre-recorded VHS cassettes, three of which are the THX Star Wars trilogy (widescreen, natch). The rest are music-related, most of which don't have DVD releases yet, like "Danzig," "Nirvana Live Tonight Sold Out," and "Perry Farrel's The Gift."
I never bothered buying movies on VHS because I was waiting for DVD, before it even existed, in fact. I didn't want to start sinking $$$ into the expensive and hard-to-find LDs, or the poor quality and non-durability of VHS.
Guess I made a good choice.

I had about 120 VHS and I've replaced maybe 20 or so. Many of them I give to my mom if she likes the movie. I haven't sold the rest just because they aren't worth a whole lot. I keep thinking that when we get around to a garage sale I'll see how many of them go then.

Out of about 200 LD's, Ive replaced almost all of them. The only ones I haven't are the ones not available on DVD, at least in region 1. The LD's are The Final Countdown, Where Eagles Dare, Ice Staion Zebra, El Cid, The Agony and the Ecstasy, The Fall Of The Roman Empire, The Haunting and The Innocents.
