I thought most people still owned a VCR. They're great for recording things off of the TV.
>>
>>71575043
This.

I think I only recording something on DVD once in the past 10 years. My parents finally bought a dvd-recorder probably 2006 or 7 even though we had a dvd player in 2001.

dvd recorders are shit, they brand your recordings with shitty title screens and low quality,

VCR recordings is literally, push in tape, hit rec. done.

This.

And they looked fine on CRT TVs.

Now, only blu-rays or 8gb mkvs can look good on HDTVs.

front projections are cool because you can see all three color tubes, as they bounce off the mirror.

i use to look into them as a kid, maybe thats why my eyesight is so bad

The best VCR ill ever own, picked it up from a thrift for $5. probably cost over 400 in the 1990

That side panel on the VHS player looks like a fucking blast door.

I miss the CLUNK of putting in a tape, and the feeling of when it "grabs".

Nothing else though. In my experience VCRs broke really easily. When renting tapes back in the day there was a good chance the tape would be fucked up in some way.

There was a great thread on /tv/ a few weeks ao about HD VHS. think i saved it...

Picked up the original VHS releases of ANH, ESB and ROJ from my deceased uncle the other day. Expect they were only watched a handful of times, knowing him. Can't wait to buy a new player to watch them on.

Seriously, this had better picture quality than VHS and it had double-sided tapes so you could just flip them over for twice the recording time, up to 16 hours depending on the tape.
>>
>>71572956

No. You took too long to rewind.
