Raw VHS footage of 99 cent thrift shop VCR/Burner.

This is part 2 of the thrift shop VCR repair video. The music is copy right claimed so I had to remove the video clip from the original repair video.
This video looks to be from around 1991.
The VCR/DVD burner used is a Model DMR-EZ48V

Great quality ! you can sell it for $400 or more, or keep it, these devices get extinct… Maybe also to be used as passthrough device for any capture device, without the need of TBC...

[@jeffescortlx]

@@xavierzander4201 I'm actually using now for the A/V input. My Vizio TV's won't work with a 240 signal. So I have the N64 passing through and using the HDMI VCR out to go to the Vizio.

[@xavierzander4201]

@@jeffescortlx wauw ! this actualy a wonder machine ? it also converts 240 lines to 480 ? what i think is that it digitized the signal first, and does this all in real time… to the HDMI output, don't sell this EZ48V for any price…. because it's rare anyway…👍 and has many uses.. and…. this is a NTSC region model ? btw if the component output also does VHS output as passthrough in progressive mode it has an extra feature :)

Man, this is high level vintage dorkery. I'm having Vietnam flashbacks to being a kid, unable to attend school when I was sick, going to work with my dad in the cubicle farms at Digital Equipment.

[@plateshutoverlock]

I bet the guy in this video gets real excited when he sees a vintage Swingline stapler.

BLAST FROM THE PAST.....

[@IAmNeomic]

Don't know if the duplication is low bitrate or if that's just KZbin's aggressive compression, but quality wise (colors, sharpness, black levels), it looks fantastic.

[@CaptainVideoBlaster]

From small tests on old VHS tapes and digital capture, it seems that huge image quality loss comes from the cables themself. So, no cables (or digital data transfer) is already a huge win.

[@jeffescortlx]

I too was impressed with the video quality on a 30 year old VHS tape.

[@martinweizenacker7129]

@@jeffescortlx It's no surprise to me - *all* DVD- and DVD/HDD-recorders by Panasonic are famous among video enthusiasts for their qualities when it comes to digitizing VHS. Although as a power user you wouldn't record to DVD but use it in passthrough to a capture device.

[@joshmyer9]

@@jeffescortlx To be fair, this tape has probably seen a lot less viewing time than most of its siblings, so less wear and tear...

Don't laugh at that classroom, when I took data processing in college we were punching holes in paper cards.

[@plateshutoverlock]

We still had typewriters in typing class when I was in the 9th grade. We were supposed to make some ascii art by following a big tedious wall of instructions in the book. It was just as fun as it sounds.

[@johncitizen3361]

Haha we used punchcards in high school and dot matrix printers.

[@opengnosis8555]

Holy shit.. Why I did not see that we were doomed then and just ended it... I have no idea...

[@jeffescortlx]

You made it all the way to the end? We will never know how it ends, its trapped for eternity on an old VHS tape.

[@poke256]

No problem, Carla.

[@zx8401ztv]

Burn the tape ha ha 😀 He didn't seem very excited, poor sod!.

[@jpoopist]

I have ripped this video to my walkman and will be listening to the music royalty-free. I'm an outlaw and I don't care. If you see a guy dressed like the hamburglar, wearing headphones and playing air trumpet - you'll know where I got my tunes.

This is great you can now convert these educational tapes to digital and post them all on KZbin so future generations to have all the information on this computer program. Jokes aside the video on the repair of the VCR/DVD converter was really cool. But I’m still confused on how I stumbled on these videos while searching for a video on how to do a repair on a 2020 Acura MDX doesn’t seem relevant to my search but I glad I found an odd and interesting rabbit hole to go down. 😂

[@jeffescortlx]

Most of my repairs are for automotive electronics. But for whatever reason KZbin really pushed this one video of me repairing a VCR.?

[@TinLeadHammer]

Why would one upload 30p video in 2022?

[@abdelkaderelbachir3817]

Damn Doug is fine

3:56 You can hear the drive heads seeking after he clicks for the main menu. LOL

[@xavierzander4201]

So ?

[@plateshutoverlock]

That is the most exciting part of this video. Anticipating any weird sound that indicates possible upcoming hard drive failure.

[@christianb8900]

What is the video bitrate of this file?

[@claypaul2012]

Hello 1994 😁

[@jeffescortlx]

Might be a little bit older, at 3:43 the software copyright is 1982-1993. But if it took them some time to film and distribute it would probably seen in 1994.

[@sanityd1]

Absolutely terrifying

[@MyGamingThumbs]

99% of this film's budget was spent on that opening score

[@RelativisticVelocity]

True facts. Video toasters back then were very very expensive.

Really great recording, best vhs to digital rip I've seen

Outstanding work! 0:53 Doug Stewart: _"Professional ACTOR!"_ I shouldn't laugh... that was me in 1991. If I had a dollar for every naptime video like this one I've had to sit through, I'd probably have enough by now (through the magic of compond interest!) to purchase a DMR-EZ48V on EvilBay.
