Yup! Time marches on. But I think that I am the only person alive who has not yet purchased a DVD ! I have so many video tapes that I cannot see throwing them all away! I have 3 VCR's in my home and as long as they are all working I will continue to use them! :lol: Change does come hard to me! :crazy: I will catch up eventually! :D

I, too, have hundreds of video tapes. It would take forever to transfer then to DVD.

VHS is so 90's.

Ah yes........... The good ole days! :lol:

Ha Ha! Me too! I cannot give up my video tapes! :D Wasteful! :eek: Of course there was one time that I said that I would never have a computer! A passing fad! :crazy: So there you go................................ :wave:

I have a ton of VHS tapes. Mostly of things I taped off of TV over 10-15 years ago. They aren't labeled either lol. So I have no idea whats even on most of them.

There are somethings like the original broadcast of the Family Ties finale I really need to convert to DVD before the tape gets any worse.

I will never give up my video tapes. I have hundreds of them and it would take me years to transfer them all. It would be like throwing money away.

I got hundrerds of VHS' and I made a guide in a spiral notebook, and labled all my tapes and I correspond a page om the notebook. It makes it real easy when looking for something. I don't think it worth it for me to transfer them to DVD.

Me, too, "Gilligan." ;)

I have a notebook with many of my tapes listed. Otherwise it would take forever to look something up, like a movie.

As long as they will still make VCRs, I'm satisfied.

Most retail stores don't even carry them not even Wal-Mart.

LOL, I can't even bare the quality of VHS!!! Thank God for DVDs!

Yeah DVD's are great, with all the FROZEN scenes and SKIPPING of Scenes. I don;t see any of that on VHS

Walmart still carries them although its now the DVD/VCR combos. They will be out for awhile.

Yea some DVD's are great and some aren't. I guess its the luck of the draw which ones you get. The most recent movies I picked up play great and then I got season 2 of Three's Company and about 3 or 4 shows on that DVD are messed up.

I have had more video tapes eaten than skips on my DVDs. If you don't scratch them they don't skip.

Also, I never said you or anyone else didn't have that happen I am saying I haven't. And unless you live with me, I don't know how you can dispute that.
Why would I lie?

Ok, and if you don't buy a Cheap VCR your tapes won;t be eaten-lol I never had a VCR eat any of my tapes.

I didn't have a cheap VCR. I had some old tapes though. I don't use VCRs at all anymore.

Maybe they haven't been cleaned (DVD's) or it must be your player lately. If properly cared for, the discs will last as long as most people! :) Talk about durability!! Theshark8777's right, if the DVD's scratched, it won't play as well as it should be. So be more careful! It may be easy to ask for a replacement disc or it might not.

Actually, VHS came out around 1975 and quickly overtook Beta due to the formats popularity a few years later.
