Do you still watch video tapes?

Wow. A film. I still remember our BetaMax and VHS. I guess it is just a matter of preference. But, I admit, it is more convenient to be up-to-date. Innovations are making our lives much easier and faster.

We have a duel dvd/vcr in my daughters room and she watches the old walt disney videos on there. I do like getting vhs tapes from the library instead of dvds because it seems like everytime we get a dvd from the library it skips or does not work. I think vhs tapes hold up better when people aren't careful with them like when some people get them from the library. However I do miss just putting the dvd in and watching the movie. I hate having to speed through all of the previews at the beginning and then rewinding the tape at the end.

I guess that elderly man also goes to the teller instead of using the atm machine, that he never uses a debit card and always pays with cash and uses a lot of pennies. We have that type here in Winnipeg. I have some vhs tapes and a vhs tape machine but I do not use it. I am gradually replacing my tapes with dvds. The trouble is that there is one show I got on vhs that is not available for dvd yet. And so I have to keep that video recorder if I want to watch it.

No we no longer have a video player, we have dvd and we only recently got rid of all the videos that we did have. Dvds are a bit of a pain if they get a scratch or a mark on them as they do jump and skip, I actually think that the video was a lot more resiliant and could take quite a beating and they would still work!

I don't watch video tapes any more. Video recorder at my house broke few years ago. After it broke we buy vcd player. Before this, my family will usually will rent video tapes and watch movies together. Now we seldom do that because we all are busy and I already went to university.

I most definitely still use video tapes. I have an older T.V. , one that came with a video recorder/player built in. I got it when it was all the rage! I find that dvds can be really expensive, and not worth the money sometimes. At my local video store you can get all of these great movies/tv shows/etc. on video tape for .50 cents each! Thats a really good bargain compared to 19.99 and up. I do have a small DVD player that cost me about 15.00 dollars that hooks up to the tv. But it doesn't record, or do any of that. So I guess you could say I still prefer video tapes.

Yes. I have several tapes that I recorded - a rod Stewert concert, a few movies I recorded from HBO, some specials. Sure, I could have them converted to DVDs, but at $20 each it would cost hundreds of dollars. I have a combination VCR/DVD player.

My kids watch VHS tapes on a daily basis. They have a ton of VHS tapes and they use the old TV/VCR combo that is down here in the computer room. We also have 2 VCR's that are not currently hooked up.

I still watch VHS movies and own quite a few. I also own 2 vcrs, one with vhs/dvd and one that is only vhs. Oh yeah, I also own a combo tv that plays vhs. I don't mind watching the old vhs tapes and from time to time I rent dvd's, like tonight.....I rented 5 dvd's for 5 days for 5 bucks! I just love the video store I go to. I still buy vhs tapes if the deals are good as I find that the dvd's are still too expensive!!

I used to watch them when I was younger. I also used to rent some from the video stores, overnight.. They were so boring.., that I stopped renting them.. I know of others whom have video tapes..

Yes we still watch video tapes in our house, some of my all time films we still have on video. The children have loads of films on video, some we have taped off the tv for them. We also still have four video players in our house along side the dvd players

I haven't watched a video in a long time. I still have a video player but I haven't used it. I mostly watch DVD's or watch movies from TV. I used to have a problem with my videos getting cought in the vcr so I don't like using it anymore.

Hardly ever. We still have maybe 20-30 videos, children's video. So, yes we still have a vcr player. It's a VCR/DVD combo. I sold five of our videos on ebay. But can't seem to sell the others. Maybe I can sell them at a garage sell for $0.50 a piece.

yeah, i still have some video tapes that are classics. I have them around here in my attic but yeah i still do watch them. Soon they will be worth alot!! So dont throw away your video tapes. Keep them stored somewhere :P

I have 2 vcrs one built into a tv and the other a stand alone. We use them just as much as we do our dvd player. We have more videos than dvds as well so it kinda makes sense that we use our vcr's lol. Whenever I buy a new movie it is usually on dvd rather than video just because they take less space than a video.

I still have a VCR, although I don't use it anymore. We bought a VCR/DVD combo a while back and it's not active because our PS3 is plugged-in as a BluRay player, but we still have a VCR and I still own some movies on VHS. We don't use it often, if ever; matter-of-fact, I cannot remember the last time we used it. But we still do have it around because every now and then there are still movies only available on VHS that we may want to or need to watch.

[i]Hi little one, we are not using video tapes anymore! Not even in my Parents' house and in my in-laws! But, I am sure there are still people who are using that![/i]

We gave the VCR to my son as we never used it. My son hardly if even watchs VCR Tapes anymore. Even the DVD Player we don't use it all that often. Maybe one every couple months we will rent DVD's. As for Blue-Ray, we don't even own a HD TV so there would be no point.

yeah n im sure that 'elderly man' would prefer 8 tracks over cds jp lol.. naw but i havent watched a video tape in quite a while.. they can jam up n get ruined easier.. plus there are more features on dvds..

I not watch film or movie by use video tape anymore.I like to use vcd.It is easy and cheap.Today,in my country, it is hard to find any video tape shop again.Maybe the challenge from other new technology shop like vcd,dvd make the shopper like them stop their business and open the new shop sell vcd and dvd. That's why i dont watch by video tapes anymore.
