Re: Emerson VCR ejecting tapes, power light blinks

Dvd is also a technology that works by
the skin of its teeth. this idea that you have to dump all your
existing stuff when something new comes out only benefits corporate
interests. let's cut the bull*** here.

Amen. Despite its warts, VHS has a GOOD track record for longevity. I have
MANY tapes recorded in the late 70's which play fine. No, they are not up to
the quality standard of VHS today, but still they are quite good. OTOH, I
have a few DVD's which were burned last year and I am having trouble playing
in them in several players. Most of the VHS decks today are pure garbage,
price point junk. But - there is a ton of old ones out there which, with a
little TLC, will be running well into the next decade. I for one will keep
my old stuff repaired, there is good money in copying video home movies on
VHS to 'better' formats. (ha)!
