    VHS offcially dead now

    Been coming for awhile, but this will put the final nail in the coffin.

      All thats left is for the major electronics retailers and video stores to pull it. I can't imagine it generating many sales for them anyway.

          Now they just need to get rid of the CD and put new albums on memory sticks.

              I have some things on VHS I need to get onto DVD (oddly, one set is actually movies transfered from the old 8MM we had growing up so I guess it will just forever be transfered to different media types). What's the cheapest way to do that? There are only maybe 5 VHS tapes - better just to take it somewhere than buy the equipment?

                          How long is each tape?

                              well if you can get a dazzle video capture device http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...578&spf=1&sp=1

                              and then just plug your vcr into your computer through it and burn them to cd or dvd burner if you have one.

                                      Most are several hours each.

                                              Do you have a stack of laser disks too?

                                                      Good, it costs too much to ship those fuckers anyway.

                                                          VHS became officially dead for me when blank DVDs became cheaper than blank VHS

                                                          I haven't recorded a VHS tape since I got my DVD recorder. I've been working on transferring my old home movies to DVD and getting copies out to family.

                                                          Last pre-recorded VHS tapes I bought were a couple of previously-rentals nearly a year ago that a local video store was selling.
                                                          .

                                                              I still use my laserdisc player regularly. Just watched Trainspotting on it last night.
