Found in my old room at the parental mansion: #DeadTech

Betamax, no less! Looks like it was used to record #DoctorWho back in the Long Ago...

Voyager time, in the period correct way too. 😉

Voyager time, watching ‘Caretaker’ on my old VHS tape and on my old CRT too.

I think I’ll commemorate the occasion by re-watching Caretaker this evening.

I’ll also try to ignore that horrific kerning on the cover. 😆

A photo of a VHS copy of the debut two-part episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Caretaker. The cover is mostly black with a gold print border. The Paramount logo is at the top left, there’s a Star Trek 30 Years logo at the top right and at the top it says ‘THE FULL LENGTH TV MOVIE’ in a white narrow font, and under that ‘STAR TREK : VOYAGER’ in gold in the show’s logo font. Under them both is ‘CARETAKER’ in a large, narrow gold font.  There is an image of the USS Voyager flying towards the Caretaker array which covers most of the front, with ‘THE VOYAGE HAS BEGUN…’ at the bottom of the image. The PG rating is at the bottom left and the credits are at the bottom in a small, narrow gold font.

So here's the thing: I started recording movies on VHS again, like you did back in the day. Now I'd love to put them in a plastic case and print out a nice label that makes them look like a retail film. So I could do the measurements myself and do something in Photoshop, but maybe there is someone out there who already did something I can use with just a few clicks? Not talking about those cardboard VHS boxes, I've found these, but that's not what I'm after. If you know anything, thanks for letting me know.

I found communities that will take off air TV #videocassette recordings with commercials. They also love newscasts, PBS pledge drives, you name it as long as it was recorded off air.

Please feel free to forward this post to others who might be interested. Let's keep these old #VHS tapes (and #Betamax) tapes circulating. Links below

1. Send me a direct message. I collect and digitize science fiction / fantasy convention footage and fan videos or song tapes

2. Contact Uncommon Ephemera who digitizes video cassettes and posts them to the #InternetArchive (his main focus is preserving educational video #FilmStrips, but he also digitizes video cassettes)

3. Join this Facebook group, these individuals are collectors not digitizers but they're thrilled to receive donations

Dead media: found this old Betamax video cassette behind some books on a shelf in my old bedroom back home, looks like some 1980s #DoctorWho taped on it.

Hard to grasp in digital, on-demand era, but being able to record TV to watch later was such a treat back then.

il progresso dei supporti video.

@vortitu @Fuchskind Mein MitLieblingsFlimmerstreifen wird wohl noch auf Ewigkeiten "Ist das Leben nicht schön" bleiben. Ich muss ihn haben, jedes Jahr wieder.

Hm. Wir haben ihn auf DVD und sogar noch eine Version auf# VHS #Videocassette (die Generation 90plus erinnert sich 😊), die ist mir sogar die liebste, weil der Ton noch nicht digital restauriert war - andererseits will ich die Kopftrommeln in meinen letzten noch gehorteten Recordern ein wenig schonen und nehme also die DVD. 😀

Dennoch freue ich mich jedes Jahr erneut, wenn ich den Film bei 3sat oder anderswo (werbefrei) vorfinde. Auch, wenn diese "Veranstaltung" dort dann meistens spät, eher nachts, stattfindet.

Hach... gibt aber noch mehr so schöne #WeihnachtsSchmonzetten - glücklicherweise!

BETA vs VHS, los inicios del cine en casa.

Su historia esta plagada de momentos que marcaron una de las guerras comerciales más recordadas. Como decían en Los Inmortales (1986): “Solo puede quedar uno”.
