I've got and old 4 Head, Dual Deck, studio player, though sadly it has macrovision installed.

To get around that I picked up a Vidicraft IVE-100 integrated video enhacner. They are cheaper than many of the black boxes on Ebay, though sadly only support mono sound.

 Then again when transfering from old VHS', who cares? The quality sucks anyhow. :)

I have a old 4 head VCR I bought several years ago that has never been used (I'd already moved to DVD), but I threw out every VHS tape I have (they really suck).
Funny, I play rentals in the Bluray player, but I don't buy that format.

Can anybody give me a good reason to keep using older video storage devices?


And wouldn't you know, some VHS tapes are actually rising in value. I've had a few that were worth $20 and up. Then those that don't ever cross over to DVD (I.E. The Quest (1986)) I transfer to DVD and sell on Ebay. :)
