!±8± Archive Those Tapes, But SAVE Those Masters!

Most of us has or have had VHS video tapes with precious family memories on them. I have family recordings going back to 1978 when I got my first VCR an RCA Selectivision top loaded 40lb. 2 speed VCR. Tapes back than cost close to retail just for one TDK or RCA VHS tape! This video explains what I do to save those memories. The bottom line is do NOT throw out your master tapes after transfering them to DVD! No one knows how long a DVD will last! Save them, tapes are proven and are reliable IF stored properly and kept clean and in their cases and away from magnetic fields, like speaker magnets, etc. I have about 30 VHS tapes that were made before 1980 that play just as good today as they did when they were first recorded.
