VHS Tapes? - Page 3

I have a ton of videotapes and I have a VCR that works fine.
The only reason I still use it is because the videotapes I have are of my favorite movies or home movies!

I have 450 VHS movies and only 100 or so dvd. I know the feeling

The cool thing is that you can get them converted! You can have all your favorites on DVD if you want to save some room. I need to get that done.

There is a quality loss and I would rather rebuild the collection which with the low price of older dvd's caused by the new hd it's affordable.

There are simply some movies I will wait quite some time re-buy, due to a sense of overwhelming nostalgia I have when watching them on VHS. Sure 480p is fantastic, and I'd certainly love to find out how Marty McFly was created or how the design concepts of the Wraith's vehicle were conceived; I'm sure the commentary for Dream a Little Dream would be fantastic, or that understanding the motivations of the Director of Better of Dead would help me appreciate his artistic vision even more than I already do; and I'm 100% certain License to Drive is much more impressive in 16:9, remastered in Dolby Digital; but, all that will have to wait. For now, I enjoy being reminded how truly low-res the 80's were.
