morgandawn OK time for stats on my #VHS #VideoTape #digitiztion project
1. I have 291 mainly #VHS videotapes of #fanvids (or #songtapes / #songvids
2. I received most of them back in the 2010s - my progress is glacial
3. I still have 178 more videotapes to convert. Some of these are duplicates but given the poor tape quality, the plan is to convert all of them
4. My lossless conversion setup no longer works (capture cards have grown worse over the years and the ones I had only worked with OS that no longer runs aka Win XP). So I am relying on DVD-Recorder to digitize what I can.
What is a songtape or a songvid?
