I prefer VHS over anything digital!!

Sound is better and picture looks better (Not flat (Because it is not compressed))

Analog is and always will be THE PUREST form of sound,etc :)

The catchphrase was "Not the mamma"...
 
If I remember correctly, Beta had better quality, while VHS had less drum wear because the tape was retracted when rewinding whereas in Beta it rewound while suspended around the drum. Beta was technically the better of the 2 but did not survive much to Sony's disgust.
I still remember the Phillips P2000 format that predated both systems. It was like 8 track tapes for video.

Oh, Dinosaurs is available on DVD. I even have a baby Sinclair plushie.
"not da Mama!"

Was thinking the same thing.

You can really hear the stretched sound on VHS. When you put in an old VHS tape from the video shop, check out the coloured test pattern with the BOOOOOOOOOOOO soundtest. 99% of the time it's more like BEEEEEYOOOOOOOEEEOOOOO...

Same as the old audio tapes. The more you play the tape, the crappier the quality becomes.
 
lol, I have no idea what is on the types from my childhood. Doubt I'll ever be able to watch them again unless someone has a working BETAMAX :o
 
Somewhere in a box in the garage, A tape with a episode of bionic 6 where they find food (k-rations?) in a crashed plane and a tape with the last 4 episode of Robotech where they attack the invid hive (TV1 era)...

I taught my friends two-year old to say "not the mama"... :erm:

The other day there was a badguy on a TV show when we were all watching TV while he was playing with his truck and a bad guy came onto TV and the two year old said "not the mama!" :D

Awesome...:D

Next you have to teach him "Eat my shorts" and "Doh"...
 
one of the oldest vids in our collection at home is Beauty and the Beast recorde off Mnet. Not the animated one, the real one. Good show... also have a few tapes of KTV from like 1992 still with the KTV Power edition "O eight hundred, one, two, two, three, four, five! Kay-Tee-Vee"

Candice Hillebrand...mmm...:p
 
It is possible to hook up a VCR to one's PC and then play the video throug the PC and record it onto the PC via some TV card program, right? Then it should be easy to write the digital copy to DVD hey?

Spent almost the whole of this afternoon cleaning out my video collection (from back in the day) and came across some pretty darn old stuff that I taped from telly. Had that dinosaur sitcom (name escapes me ...) and err, don't mock me for this, Body Beat *cringe*. So what old stuff do you guys still have lurking on tape somewhere?

Oldest tape has Vila Rides (movie with Yul Brynner about Pancho Vila) recorded on it from 1986.

I've got tapes with The Simpsons and Futurama on. And a cartoon called Dog Tracer from 1996. Thats the oldest I've got. The rest of y'all are so old.

Can you sell/trade Dog Tracer episodes :)? would be so glad
 
If you guys crave these old shows,you can watch some of them on netflix, such as dinsosaurs, gummi bears and murder she wrote.:D

Obviously not the S.A stuff though.
