Was cleaning out my storage shed and found a bunch of vhs movies (no home movies) in questionable state. Is there anything worth doing or should I dump them (think they can be recycled)? Before it’s said, I don’t think they’re worth digitalizing imo.
If you are into 3D printing you could create filament out of it … https://hackaday.com/2020/12/16/3d-printing-with-vhs-tape-filament/
That is neat as shit and I really regret getting rid of my huge ass collection of VHS tapes a dec…wait as I type this I remember I got a huge rubbermaid tote with the original Star Trek TOS VHS run they released back in the 90’s sitting in storage somewhere…
…fuck I’m gonna buy a 3D printer now…
You could ask if a retirement home wants them?
They’ve mostly gone digital as well… at least around here.
Well I love em, so if there’s anything good you can mail em to me! Lol
What are they exactly? Are these commercial releases or are they recordings onto blanks? Some VHS are worth quite a bit, even used blank tapes are worth a bit of money, depending on what they are.
Some movie are more “valuable” than other but in general for collection the box has to be in decent state. As for recycling yes it should be possible but it might be a separate process , i dont know how it work in your country. It bring me some nostalgy these big plastic box
if you have a Hi-Fi audio capable VHS recorder, you can back up your music in excellent quality on it.
if not, you still can use a PCM encoder for the recording like the ones Sony made back in the day (today I guess you can get away with some pc software and a cheap USB S-Video card/stick)
