Default VCR tapes

I just ran across a boxful of VCR tapes including some home movies. Since I still have a VCR that works, I've decided to transfer them to DVD. I've played parts of a couple of them, and they are in surprisingly good shape. They must be at least 15 years old!

Hopefully, my VCR will hold up. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to scour the vintage video sites for a used one.

I still watch my VHS tapes on occasion. I do need to transfer my favorites to DVD but I just haven't yet. It's amazing how fast technology changes and becomes outmoded.

I have a couple boxes full. One is for movies and the other is nothing but boxing and fight tapes. I'm a fight fan. Once in a while I hook the VCR up to the big screen. I even have cassette tapes left too.

Awesome... I love old movies! My dad recently brought up the old movie type player (projector) and some VHS tapes of my kids when they were really little.

I still have a vcr, and loads of vhs tapes. A bunch of the tapes are Disney movies. Every one of the tapes play beautifully. I thought the tapes would have been ruined, by now. I guess, I should transfer the movies to dvd.

I was checking around online and Walmart still sells VCRs! I couldn't believe it and it's the same model that I have now. They also have a lot of VCR and DVD combo units which, I assume, is to make it easier to copy to DVD.
