When the film industry was most analog, in the UK anyway, they would queue up a part of a tape, cut a section off, and then splice the two halves together with Scotch tape. Once they were satisfied with the playback results, you ended up with this tape with hundreds of splices being transferred to a master tape.

VHS-C is the bane of video transfers. Taking them apart is a nightmare. Sometimes the screws are actually plastic. I agree with you that the best way is to just re-thread it onto a full size VHS body. I don't even rethread it to VHS-C I just give the client a new full size VHS. I emailed you about the cleaner machine - any info on how to get one would be awesome!

It’s such a shyte format. ‘But it’s only got like 38 mins on it’ ….yes, that 38 mins takes me 4 x attempts taking 4hrs.

congratulations for the video! I have to do the same job, but the screws of the VHS-C cassette seem blocked, I can't unscrew them, they seem glued. Has this ever happened to you? How to solve it?

This is what the video is about, breaking them open and transplanting. For me, VHS C tapes 90% of the time have to be broken open.

Stumbled upon your channel as I've started doing conversion and came across my first batch of VHS-C and man, it made me want legacy sticker into obscurity, lol. I'm very interested in that vhs cleaner as I can't stand seeing the static lines on the tape and want to make everything perfect. Keep up the good work!

Cheers! Yes the compacts are a challenge for sure! Keep up the good work yourself!

These analogue tapes are truly on borrowed time; as they age, the signal to noise ratio worsens, meaning it will become more difficult to transfer them in a few years time as the signal on the tape slowly fades away into noise.

What type of wipes you’re using on the cleaning reels of the VHS cleaner that will not scratch the tape?

I remember transferring old U-matic tapes back in highschool in the 90's, they were starting to fall apart back then and those were all stored in a perfectly climate controlled media room in the library archives. I cant imagine another 30+ years and kept in poor conditions.

Would have it been possible to save the damaged part ?

Well done fella I’m going to give it a try I believe it’s with in my capabilities only thing I’m not sure about is spooling the c cassette onto the larger VHS without a rewinding player I’ll have some thinking about, I was planning to get another c cassette and changing over spools but I think after watching your film those tiny spring pins and rollers would Finnish me, anyway I’m going to tackle it myself somehow, by the way don’t be concerned about the nasty comments from some they treat their own people that way so forget them!

Hey mate! Cheers for the comment! Yeah always trolls galore sitting in the mums house with £18 in their bank collecting the dole being know it all arseholes 😂 As for opening up vhs-c tapes, good luck, usually one of the screws won’t come out or something pings and flys out the side and you’re buggered! 80% of the time I’m just transplanting onto a full size vhs. It’s a pig of a task but only way to sure fire get it to play. All the best to you!
