Dumping VHS

I bought no less than 15 VHS movies the other day, for
about 15£ total! I love format dumping of this kind. :) So
now I own "True romance", "Dead man walking", "Mars attacks"
and even a special edition of "Lawrence of Arabia"

so you better make damn sure that you keep them in a dry
place because mold will just kill them. Speaking from
experince here after having lost a big chunk of vhs
collection to mold.

I don't think that would ever happen at my place and if it
still did I wouldn't have lost that much money anyway. Shame
about your collection tho...

I can't go back to VHS now I'm used to dvd... they
look/sound like pirate copies in comparison!

Life with the baby is WONDERFUL! She just turned one month
old and we have long and cozy conversations every day. She
likes to listen to Harold Budd and Brian Eno. And when it
comes to Stereolab I think she's a big fan already! :)

Yeah, having children is fantastic, and after having this
daughter I only want more of them! Recommended!

I haven't bought a film on VHS in over 2 years. My attic is
full of them!

I've probably only taped one or two things in recent
months.....but with the variety of channels on satellite, I
don't really feel the need to record programmes.

i rarely ever watch tapes anymore - i barlely own any sort
of video entertainment media actually. though i prefer dvd.
after that, you never want to go back to VHS. also, DVD
players continue to drop in price.

really? i haven't heard of those.... though i'm sure
everyone else has.

i'm not really sure what's going on in the world most of the
time. =D

Fuck VHS man. I watch like one video per year, usually a
Leeds video which aren't available on DVD. I don't record
anything off TV because the quality goes down, and since Sky
repeats practically everything every month there's no need,
you can catch it again in a week or so. If it ain't digital,
it ain't shit!

I've got like 400 videos in my house, if I could be arsed to
take them to town I'd sell them all tomorrow.

i might like to buy some of them (unless you really from
oman and they are videos of oman tv shows) video quality
doesnt bother me, its the quality of the actual show/film
that i care about

I'm in Wales :) Most of them are films from around 1988 -
1998, I could make a list, then put that up here, then sell
the rest on ebay, and buy a bunch of envelopes, and
stamps...

I'm rapidly loosing interest. Damn my lazy ass.
