HDTVS and VCR's

[hoogoosedmoose41]

NOT A GOOD MIX! I still have about 100 VHS tapes im hanging on to for whatever reason, I grabbed my VCR which I had mothballed and thought id see how it looked. OMG! talk about painful. I think id have more fun taking the VCR outside and beating it with a sledgehammer. so the VCR goes back to being mothballed. Ill probably take the VHS tapes and the vcr to the goodwill and donate them to the less fortunate.

Turn your motionflow on high and let us know what happens.

Like a year ago, I donated over 30 Disney cartoon / family VHS movies to my son's pre school (they have a VCR / DVD combo player)... A great move

My wife still has every animated Disney feature ever released on VHS, and I have Zorro and X-Files on VHS. Some of the Disney flix are still sealed in the original wrapper. I am planning on putting them up on E-bay once I have replaced them with Blu-Ray. I figure someone will at least buy the Disney flix as collector's items.

Maybe ill donate the videos to the salvation army.. I have a few Disney stuff but not much. Nothing I could donate to children’s resource center.

Not sure what the motion flow is going to do for VHS... I had it hooked into my Integra dtc 9.8 which up converts the signal to 1080p. I tried hooking it straight to the TV it looked even worse. My JVC Hifi VCR looks mighty tired sitting on my relatively new entertainment center. I decided it looked better in the closet.
A lot of the tapes I have are old. One of which I taped a special on discovery called Daylight robbery. Its hilarious they put squirrels through these mazes etc.I have heard it wont ever be rebroadcast which sucks. The recording I made does have an ad for Ross Perot running for president which shows how dated the tape is. I have an extensive collection of the X-files on VHS and some other movies that would not be worth upgrading to blue. (Mad max etc).
I have over 250 standard DVDs which are sitting in my pioneer 301 disc changer. I got burned pretty hard on laserdiscs... i had about 40 of them when it finally flopped. I sold the lot of them for 60 bucks on eBay minus 3 movies on laserdisc. I sold those 3 and got over 400 dollars for the 3 of them. (Original star wars trilogy) someone just had to have it.
