[QUOTE="subzero, post: 479690, member: 9185"] Sad part is with old VHS tapes if you're looking for specific recordings I reckon they'll be almost impossible to track down when you take into account that.. 1. They stay in boxes stored away in the backs of cupboards and lofts usually for decades forgotten about. 2. When people do discover them they may never think to save them because nobody has VHS anymore and they could bin them viewing them as 'worthless' 3. If they find them and feel nostalgic about them they will never want to sell them and rather keep them for the sake of selling them for pennies. 4. Time is also running out, about 3 years ago I got some of our home video recordings of my family from the late 80's / early 90's to send off for transferring onto DVD as a xmas present for my mom and dad. It was both home video and TV recordings and they were in pooor shape, 20% full of static and wavy screens, they've been carefully stored still in the sleeves inside of a lid sealed box and in the dark at the back of a cupboard under the stairs, where they've literally stayed since the early 90's. I got to them in time because another 5 - 10 years and they may have been almost completely degraded and unwatchable. [/QUOTE]
