I still have some old tapes from the mid-1980s that were āboot tapesā and backup tapes for a Unix machine I owned (didnāt everybody have one back then?) I canāt just pitch them because they have patient information on them (HIPPA dates back that far, but is in force today) and payroll information complete with Social Security Numbers.
Iām trying to convince my local imagining center to run an MRI on them ā then Iāll be sure the information is destroyed.
Some of my best recordings began on VHS. STNG, STDS9, STV, STE, Seaquest DSV, as well as a host of movies most of which Iāve transferred to DVD. To my amazement, the DVDs came out sharper than the EP VHS recordings. But, I still have the original VHS record as a backup.
Fred should rip his DVD collection and store those backups on an external hard drive. If you then put a movie file onto a Thumb Drive most Smart TVs will play the directly.

Thank God that DVDs & DVR recorders have replaced VHS tapes & VCRs ā¦ They had their āmoment in the sunā, just like the Sinclair 1000.

All about options. Have VHS, DVDāS and DVR. VHS was fixed as tapes got stuck, but never use it now. Great movies collecting dust!
