So I own over 500 vhs tapes. And dvds, but those are easy to rip. I am trying to archive all my tapes before they go bad. However, that takes a lot of time. Should I just try to find all the movies I can for tapes I own?

I’ve been out of the game for a few years now. How vast are the resources for 90s movies and such ?

    I don’t have a problem with this, its easy enough to throw in a tape in the morning, then another at night. In a year I’d be done.

    However, I don’t think many people would want them due to the low quality. I myself actually enjoy vhs quality but I know many want the highest possible for their media.

      I’d say download everything and keep track of what you can’t find, then rip those because there will probably be people in the data hoarder or lost media communities who would love to hoard and share it.

      Low quality is better than no quality. That is, something is better than nothing, and options are always good.
