I have several Hundred VHS, (which I have now converted almost 98% into DVD form) and several hundred DVD's. and I, too, have been keeping them mostly.
Today I went to work out to a DVD and found that it was corrupt
, thank goodness I still have the original workouts in VHS form.
The bad part is that I have to go searching through my collection to find these 10 vhs tapes so I can convert them all over again...
I think the mistake was cleaning the other side with alcohol, I wrote on it when I first made it. I thought I was keeping it safe.
Live and learn.
