2624ArticleVaporman87Yeah, that sucks. I have many VHS recordings from days past, most of them home movies but some recordings of things like Saturday Night Live, NBA games, and the like. Sep 09, 2015View
2625ArticleCaps 2.0Well, as Vapor alluded to, I do have a lot of experience with this. It all started back on RetroJunk, when I frequently came across cool commercials and trailers on YouTube that I thought belonged on RetroJunk. I didn't start giving credit to the original uploaders until 2008. In 2009, I got the Pinnacle video editing program, and so I started taking commercials from the DVDs I had purchased. Unfortunately, a lot of the recordings wouldn't move until I purchased the CloneDVD program. As for why I enjoy vintage broadcasts, and the commercials contained therein, it's because I did a lot of recording on VHS tapes well into my 20s. I ended up taping over a lot of the stuff I recorded in the 1980s, including a lot of amazing Disney specials that I regret recording over. I've since found a lot of them on websites that sell recordings with original commercials, and it's been fun.VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 09, 2015View
2629ArticleoniparOh wow, there are websites dedicated to selling these kinds of tapes!? That's amazing, I had no idea! It's actually pretty hard to find "the good stuff" at yard sales, so I may have to check out these sites. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to upload from vhs tapes, but if I ever find enough tapes, I may buy a program/machine to do so. VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2630ArticleVaporman87Actually I think it may be best to first convert the VHS tapes to DVDs, then rip them to your computer that way. I'm not sure how Caps does it, but my guess is that he first converts them, then edits them in Pinnacle (which I also use, for all video edits like the Specials).VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2632ArticleCaps 2.0Actually, all my stuff is already on DVDs purchased from various sources. Vapor has it right. I convert them, and then edit them in Pinnacle.VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2634ArticleoniparAh, right on! Yeah, I actually just saw that forum thread on this very subject too. Very cool; I'll have to look into all of this. VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2635ArticlemickyarberOne of my favorite bits of retro programming I own, is a vhs of Superbowl 20 from January of '86. They recorded the pre-game, game, half-time, and all the commercials! I also have a small collection of home recordings of WWF Saturday Night's Main Event which also still feature all the commercials..Zzzv C VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 10, 2015View
2636ArticleoniparAH, nice ones! I'd love to find some WWF stuff from back then. My main things I always look for are the holiday specials with commercials, especially Halloween stuff. I actually don't have any yet. VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 11, 2015View
2637ArticlemickyarberI have boxes and boxes full of vhs that I recorded in the 80's and 90's. I'll look through them sometime soon and see what I have that you may be interested in.VHS Television Treasure HuntSep 11, 2015View
