What are WE GOING TO DO WITH OUR VHS TAPES?

do we know HOW long DVDs are going to hold up? My roomie has VHS tapes over 20 yrs old, will a DVD hold up that long? I suggest you consider keeping them, in a cool dry place....

We have a lot of VHS, but most of them are home movies, not "movie-movies," and we haven't watched them in ages, so I don't think there's a crisis at hand. Although, I was disappointed when we purchased a new television that our old VCR was no longer compatible. I love VHS. In fact, I think I only own two DVDs. (What can I say, I'm not a movie person! :D) I hate that things go out of style so quickly. It's DVDs now, but soon it'll be Blu-Ray. :D Personally, I'll still be clinging to my VCR and VHS.

Eventually I want to get a VCR/DVD recorder. I would like to transfer my home movies over to the DVD's. I think we will still be able to buy VCR's for awhile yet. I still have 8 track tapes(remember them). I have a factory installed 8 track player in my car and still listen to the tapes, hehe.

We have lots of VHS tapes, DV tapes, Slides and old films that we are all going to transfer to DVDs. The tapes that holds old memories are too valuable not to take care of.

I have a duel player one side is for dvd's the other is for vhs, and I have so many good movies on vhs, and at some garage sales and rummage sales the people have a lot of good movies to sell. See no need in getting rid of them as long as we have a player to play them on. I would love to transfer them to dvd's and i have a friend that says she can show me how so will see if she can then will probably keep them, any way. Or give them to whoever wants them, besides if the dvd stops working i still got the vhs side to play them on

You can either keep your VHS, and purchase a DVD to go with it, or you can get your VHS transferred to DVD. But, in the stores there are more DVD movies and tapes.

I gave a lot of them to the thrift store but I kept my favorite ones that I haven't been able to get on DVD yet. We have a DVD/VCR combo for just this reason.

We have replaced a lot of them with the DVD's and for the ones that are rare and/or out of print now we got a recorder so we could run them off on to DVD's. Most or our VHS tapes are now in the basement packed away with our vinyl albums.

I've wondered about this myself - I have over 300 movies on VHS and have no idea how I would put them on DVD but am sure it would cost a fortune to pay someone to do it. At the same time I've worked years to collect most of these movies and certainly don't want to throw them out - I still watch them.

I have a lot of them. I plan on giving them away to someone having a yard sale. I tried to sell a group of 20 on ebay and it didn't sell at 99 cents. LOL My vcr is broken. I went to wal=mart to get one and they didn't have any. Just dvd players with a vcr together. I don't plan on getting another vcr.

We had absolutely hundreds of them and we did not know what to do with them and so we just donated them to a charity shop as there was nothing really that we could do with them. I would have sold them but we could not test them to check that they worked and so the charity shop said that they could so we just did that.

Just keep them. I have a ton of them with mostly kid's videos and Disney on them. We still have a couple VCR's so we will keep them and watch them until they break, I suppose. I think you can have them transferred to disc somehow but it is probably expensive to do.

I have many Disney movies on VHS tape. My daughter has a TV with build in VHS recorder, so i don't have any plans with them right now. I can watch them on my daughters TV.

u know what i think that is a really good question! i wanted to convert my old VHSs to DVDs from a recording studio. i think converting them to dvds and keeping the originals are a good thing to do! very soon they will become as valuable as the old roll-up video tapes. keeps them man after converting them to dvd

I have a few I should transfer, but mostly they are just movies I've taped for my granddaughter.. we have a new one along the way, so hopefully we can get to enjoy them again.. But even if not, we have enough movies on DVD and on the tv to be happy. What I really need though is a DVD recorder! so I can tape movies on DVD. They take up so much less space! - But I really should check on some family vhs's I have which my sister made up of old family photos.. and transfer them.. as VHS's can demagnetize (or something) and the film is rubbed out.. But I've stored these away from the machinery so hopefully they're ok.

I've recently started going though my old VHS tapes and i've decided to give them to charity shops, there are still people out there who don't have DVD's so hopefully these will be of use to those people!

I have a few VHS tapes but not many. I rent tapes when I want to watch them. I live in a small house and there isn't a lot of room for extra things. So I just go to the video place and rent and return when I am done watching. So I don't have that problem of what to do with my VHS tapes.

Actually 99% of my VHS tapes are movies I taped from TV...I think I have maybe 6 original movies on VHS. I have been slowly replacing them with DVD. The fact that I have to buy them is making me really decide whether they are worth keeping or not. As I replace them, I've been giving them away to friends and family for their kids to watch or for themselves. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

i'm transfering mine over. i usually give the old tapes away to friends if they want them.i kind of feel bad about just throwing them out.

I don't have any VHS tapes, because i don't have a video home system. But if i had some ,i would keep them as a memory for the old good days, i'm a people who like to think of the old things and old people...
