VHS tape having issues - not available on dvd

katalina · 06-29-20, 09:36 AM

Today I did Firm Parts Lower Body Sculpting. Alas, my vhs is having issues and I fear it may not be with me much longer.

I just wanted to share with people who would understand my sadness...

Oh I understand. Some of my favorite workouts are VHS and I hold my breath every time I pop them in.

Is it your player or the tape itself? I have LBS in a bright pink clamshell if you want it..

I, too, hold my breath every time I play a VHS. I've been able to replace many of my favorites with DVD. Alas, it's the tape. I tried another tape in it after I finished and it played fine.

Thank you. That's very kind of you. I think I'm going to keep looking to try to find a dvd copy. Who knows how much longer my vhs player will continue to work...

Uh oh, it is starting to feel like a revolt of the VCR machines. I just posted over the weekend that my VCR ate the last VHS tape I owned. Fortunately for me, a very kind VF member saw my post and contacted me to say she had the workout on DVD and offered to send it to me. The generosity of VF members is beyond measure! Fingers crossed someone can help you out as well.

Sorry is it the machine having issues or the vhs itself?

I saw some vhs over at Amazon USA. Is it this one?

https://www.amazon.com/Firm-Parts-Lo...3462959&sr=8-2

They have some pre owed ones from $4.86

Also saw this on dvd. I don't know about this website though.

I still have a lot of FIRM VHS videos that you are welcome to for the cost to ship. None of my Videos were used much.

Let me know the ones you are looking for.

Thanks. I appreciate your offer, but I'm going to try to find a dvd copy. Who knows how much longer my vhs player will continue to work...

I had one do this recently...the intermittent blue screen flashes in and the sound went out. I just want them to last as long as I do

It is very sad ...good luck in your DVD replacement search!!!

I had great success converting VHS to digital format using a little device like this one. Only a few tapes failed. This one's too expensive. There are better prices on Amazon and Ebay. You probably can get one from Wish for a fraction of that if you can stand the wait. https://www.amazon.com/If-Link-Captu...dDbGljaz10cnVl
