Heh, well yeah a lot of new posts in one go. I found some time to actually write them so lets go :-)I am currently doing a new project in between, recently we disconnected our old VCR player at home. We never used it much and old VHS tapes are guaranteed to break at some point. So we decided to cleanup etc. Now we have just a few (50 or so) VHS tapes lying around doing nothing. Amongst them are a few videos of when my brother and I were young, oh those good old days :p
Since I do not want to loose those videos and preserve them on recent modern equipment, I am transporting them to DVD, which is an timeconsuming job, but seems to work very well so far. The first test I did was with a cartoon of Robin Hood, (A fox in the cartoon version), which looks OK enough on TV, ofcourse it copies the video quality so it wont improve much from that, but at least it’s digitally stored now. I need to make sure to regulary copy them over again so that the DVD’s remain healthy (burned DVD’s will ofcourse fade away at some point). When this huge project is over, we can safely store our VHS tapes in a closet or somethign and use the DVD’s from now on.
Now only to persuade my parents to buy an DVD / HD recorder to grab TV broadcasts so that we really do not need to VHS tape thingy any longer
