Anyone Still Have VHS Tapes ?

[goreds2]

I heard Fezzy say he still has them plus a VCR.

I still have SOME plus a VCR.

[Judge Smails]

Not only do I still have them. I watched Iron Giant with my kids this weekend. They were very confused by the whole adjusting the tracking situation.

[disneyspy]

i have 3 VCRs and about a dozen tapes (including 2 old ron n ron tapes) the VCRs come in handy when i'm DVR'n 2 shows but want to watch something else

I heard Fezzy say he still has them plus a VCR.

I still have SOME plus a VCR.

I have enough stuff on tape that I just bought a Pinnacle Studio Moviebox so I can transfer them to DVD. I think I've got about 6 VCRs in various working states around the house. Once I get everything on disc, it all goes in the garbage.

I have enough stuff on tape that I just bought a Pinnacle Studio Moviebox so I can transfer them to DVD.

I have that and my Mom just brought over her VCR and an old ass PBS tape about the tiny town she lives in so that I could make some DVD copies for her.

When I started to do it last night her 1926 VCR ate the fucking tape.
I now have to take apart the dumb VCR to save the tape.

Suck.

[IamFogHat]

We have a whole bunch. I also still own cassette tape version of albums. Also I'm too young for that to be a real thing to say but it's true.

[Hottub]

3 cases of VHS. Including Studio press releases, limited editions, remastered stuff, homemade adult:devil2:, the entire Moronathon (Hand edited with no commercials), releases that never made it to VD, and more.

I also have a case of 8mm. Some cinema classics and over 100 hours of "me". Including wedding day prep, honeymoon, baby Sean, Argentina, various beach vaco's.

I need to transfer this shit before it is gone forever.

[PapaBear]

I'm not wasting money on a DVR! I'm keeping my VCR till it breaks!:thumbup:

In other words... I can't afford DVR.:dry:

[midwestjeff]

Time to take apart this ancient video viewing device.

If I don't make it, tell Momma I loved her.

And by Momma I mean sweet, sweet Saphire.

You should transfer those tapes to DVD's and rip them to your computer so that way you have them forever(and you can share them also ;) )

I have a VCR and a bunch of tapes haven't used either of them in years.

[Devo37]

i still have a vcr, but i haven't used it in years. i debated even re-connected it when i got a new tv, but it fit in the wall unit, so i kept it.

i also have a cabinet of old tapes, including about 30 tapes full of simpsons episodes. i thought i would have the greatest collection from taping it every sunday. of course, that was before dvd's. hell, i haven't even watched the simpsons in a few years.

[jennysmurf]

I've only kept the VCR tapes of stuff I taped off TV. I love watching the whole shows with the old commercials. I have a whole 8 hours of MTV from leaving the machine running while I was at school (this was when they still played music). Wicked sweet. I need to get them transferred for posterity.

P.S. I'm going to have to have shock therapy to remove the visuals I got when reading about Hottub's homemade adult videos.

[STC-Dub]

We have a couple and a combination VCR/DVD player -- well 2 but one does not work.

[dereckfishboy]

fuck, i don't even have dvds anymore... i'm 100% digital now

[A.J.]

I do -- mostly for old bootlegs I bought years ago.

And some porn.

I have a bunch of MST3Ks and about 6 month worth of MTV's 120 Minutes.

The good ol' days of cable.

[Fallon]

I shit canned mine as soon as I got a DVD player, now the only reason I even have a DVD player is because it's part of my surround sound unit.

Don't think I've watched a DVD in a year. Everything is digital now.

[biggirl]

yeah, porn

[dereckfishboy]

Don't think I've watched a DVD in a year. Everything is digital now.

Attagoddamnboy.... why keep dvd cases and cd folderes laying around? I can keep two 1080p rips on a thumb-drive the size of an almond for less than the price of a bluray. I can keep every movie I own on a 1TB hard drive the size of my wallet for less than it took to register the plates on my cars.

[jennysmurf]

I taped the Turkey Day Marathon that Comedy Central ran of MST3K one Thanksgiving. Can't put a price on it!

[PapaBear]

About the only "event tapes" I have are the Super Bowl with the wardrobe incident, and the Daytona race that killed Dale Earnhardt.

[hedges]

I have live King Crimson
Jimi Hendrix plays Monterey
the original Star Wars trilogy
Bukowski at Bellevue
Buscemi's Trees Lounge
and some jazz drumming/drummers

[FUNKMAN]

got some, and a tv with a built-in vcr... it's badass

[SHANEFROMGA]

got 2 dvd/vhs combos. my oldest daughter still has a bunch of tapes from when she was young and dvds were first hitting big. she still watchs them and my 5 year old watchs them with her.

[OGC]

not only do I have a few old vcrs and tons of tapes, I have a couple of betamaxes and plenty of tapes for them. I haven't used them in years, but now that I have a grandson, it's time to pull out all of the old Thomas the Tank Engine tapes.

[Furtherman]

Yep. I have a box full of them, mostly movies. Probably close to 60.

[Hottub]

P.S. I'm going to have to have shock therapy to remove the visuals I got when reading about Hottub's homemade adult videos.

You are assumng I am featured?:wink:

Her prurient interests must be piqued.

[Jujubees2]

VHS? Hell I still have some 8-tracks somewhere in my mother's house.

[Jughead]

VHS? Hell I still have some 8-tracks somewhere in my mother's house.

Do you have close to the edge By Yes I could play it in my garage!!!!:happy:

[WampusCrandle]

I have a tv with a vcr.

plus, on tape: National Lampoon's Senior Trip, Zoolander, Sleep Away Camp 1 + 3, and the original G.I. Joe animated movie

[Jughead]

My youngest son 22 now..But I have tapes of gullah gullah island I taped for him DAMN Im sad

[mikeyboy]

I had a VCR, but it broke. I didn't want to buy a new one, but I still have a bunch of my wife's dance performances on VHS that I need to convert to digital. My parents were pitching their old player, so I just took that.

[CountryBob]

I just threw out about 50 porn VCR tapes collected over the years. It was a sad day reading the titles but it had to be done - actually kept a few greats!

[jennysmurf]

You are assumng I am featured?:wink:

You are such a dirty dog.

[opie's twisted balls]

VHS? Hell I still have some 8-tracks somewhere in my mother's house.
no 8-tracks (I'm too young for that format) but I still have a beta player and some tapes


but I still have a bunch of my wife's dance performances
Keep your baby off the poll!

[hanso]

i have 3 VCRs and about a dozen tapes (including 2 old ron n ron tapes) the VCRs come in handy when i'm DVR'n 2 shows but want to watch something else

I wish someone would post those ron & ron tapes online somewhere.

I tossed out a working vhs player not long ago. My tv is a dvd/vhs combo. Home made vcd's will shut off the tv when done. Nice for falling asleep to.However these things will auto shut off the tv at start up sometimes. A fix is to leave a vhs tape in. Or replug the power cord to wall.

[thepaulo]

I have 17 VCR's, 16 Cassete players, 9 8-Track players, 15 Tv's
I even have a bunch of DVD and CD players

[KingModem]

Just threw them out. My girl has some exercise tapes that she still watches on the 15 inch combo vcr/tv in the basement. Hilarious how the sounds levels change while watching cassette tapes..

[Section 8]

I've got a bunch of anime and Japanese pro wrestling shows on VHS. I've also got 3 large boxes full of tapes that I either need to transfer to DVD or try to sell off/dump...

[ANC]

With the last move, I threw out my VCR and VHS tapes except for 2 that had band gigs on them.

When we moved into the new house we found a camcorder tape from the previous owner hidden in back of a closet on a shelf.. We don't have anything to play it in, but we still have it somewhere...

Hmmm I wonder what it could be? :laugh:

[TripleSkeet]

I got rid of most of my tapes. Any personal ones (family vids, homemade porn, skydiving, etc.) I transferred onto my computer with Pinnacle. Saved me alot of space.

[Joe Pietaro]

It was a touching moment when I discarded my VCR porn collection, especially the 8-hour tapes I had of "Colossal Combos," which they used to sell the 4-hour variety in NYC and I dubbed two on a blank tape. These were all the best parts of the movies and cut out all the bullshit - right to the pussy eating on the lesbo series.

I had a lot of good memories with them and spent many a drunken dawn cranking it to these tapes in my old apartment trying to drop a load so I can go to sleep. It may have mounted to trying to play pool with a rope, but good times anyway.

[cougarjake13]

i have a few henry rollins spoken words on vhs but not a vcr so theyre kinda useless at the moment

[Contra]

Just about any old movie you can get on DVD for like 10 bucks so why not just make the switch already? DVD players are like 30 bucks.

Yard sale them VHS bitches

[drusilla]

i have a ton back at my mom's house just collecting dust on my old shelves. i just can't part with them even though most of the stuff can be bought on dvd now.

[drusilla]

the entire Moronathon (Hand edited with no commercials), releases that never made it to VD, and more.



The moronathons were actually what I was thinking about when i saw this thread. I have a shitload of Beavis & Butt-head on VHS.

I also have a few old ass lesser known Bruce Campbell movies that I bought off of ebay a while back.

[Bratushka]

I keep telling myself that I'm going to get one of those machines that transfers VHS to DVD. I have a pretty irreplaceable collection of band videos, documentaries, speeches and teachings by the Dalhi Lama, and some great porn (balance in all things!) on VHS all well worthy of saving.

I am the enternal procrastinator tho...:tongue:

I did know a guy who used VHS purely for recording audio. He had a very nice, high end stereo VHS deck and used it like a reel to reel tape machine. The sound was very good and he could make some truly long lasting mix tapes for his parties!

[Chob]

I got a bunch of blank ones that I never used to tape anything sitting in a closet.

[danner1515]

I still have about 100+ tapes in my garage. A couple of years ago, I called my library to see if they wanted them, and they said they wouldn't take them. In the box, there are maybe five tapes I would want to keep or at least have transferred to DVD. Maybe I'll get motivated to do something with them the next time I move.

[razorboy]

I have a bunch of ADATs. I guess that counts.

[TjM]

No. THough I do have my wedding on those small camqurter (SP?) tapes. Need to convert soon

[PapaBear]

camqurter (SP?)
Camcorder? Just find someone with one of the cameras, and plug it into a computer with a video card.

[IamFogHat]

We have a bunch, and a vhs player, so we're all good.

[WampusCrandle]

I have the following on VHS still:

Nice to see Big A starring in a film.

[goreds2]

I went to a neighborhood community yard sale yesterday. You can get VHS tapes for practically nothing now.
