VHS Tapes Making a Comeback

[@LisaWagner-wy5li]

VHS tapes in 2024 last longer than most relationships and most marriages!!!

[@allanhazle-VideoGuy]

Oh I feel this one lol

[@shanenice5380]

I see old anime show.i think it was a movie called cowboy bebop,the kid has a vhs players and tape he found artifact.i think it well last long then us

[@GAURAV25855ify]

Certain tv shows as.well they.merge with silicon valley

[@Florentina-ox9xq]

Actually I still have around 60 VHS tapes all bought from 2005-2006 and still work great!

[@DavidMander-rs4uk]

Marriages suck!! I'd rather be on my own so ii can do what i want and collect my huge DVD/Blu-ray collection.

[@workingorder2189]

DVDs and VHS will make a comeback because people are tired of streaming fees.

[@xtrm2009]

Most importantly, hopefully video rental stores come back too.

I think collectively, we're tired of all this technology. Were tired of social media, tired of modern tech and were yearning for the old days. I'm 40, and I grew up going to blockbuster and west Coast video. Kids today need to know how that feels..

[@josephcontreras8930]

Yea lackluster and Hollywood video were OK but I always liked renting from local stores they had more to ofer and greater selection.

[@PortlandSucksss]

Movie Madness video store and Excalibur Comics shop are the only good things about living in Portland, OR.

People are sick and tired of streaming services and their stupid fees. No wonder people are turning back to physical media

[@wolfgamemusicvideo4532]

Especially when streaming services often take away certain titles

[@chrisalley6282]

@@wolfgamemusicvideo4532 Not just certain titles, but certain titles that they paid for. Also things like ads in a paid service, reducing the quality of the show because you're on an "unsupported platform" (like a browser in Linux instead of their spyware apps), and forcing arbitration when a customer dies in one of their theme parks, because the customer signed up for a streaming service and arbitration was in the TOS.

[@PyroShields]

Download movies is another option. I have a whole library on my flash drive and they don't take physical space.

[@NerdyRed23]

I'm so glad that VHS tape are making a comeback just like vinyl did

[@You_Had_Me_At_Meow]

I much prefer DVDs, but this is cool, too.

[@chefbenardee1408]

This is heartwarming... thank you youtube recommendations

[@SybilKibble]

I never stopped collecting. A lot of things are only available on VHS, things recorded off TV especially. Tape trading has been around for decades, and a lot of the uploaded shows you see here on KZbin are uploaded by collectors like I. :)

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

Back in the VHS day the vibe was much different :) Every visit to the video store was magical :) You felt that every weekened you are going to go on a new adventure :) Every movie was an adventure and told its own unique story :)

[@Aluminatihusker]

For real! Couldn’t have said it better! And when you were with your friends as a kid, at least in my case, that was magical.

[@QuantumEffectResidue]

I've always hated streaming. I had a bunch of VHS tapes that I ended up donating back to a Goodwill and then I left my VCR at my sisters when I moved out of state. Last year I bought an old portable Sony DVD player and I'm reviving my whole DVD collection. But I'm thinking about rebuilding VHS also. See, I got smart with all these movie apps,. I downloaded all the movies into a separate hard drive now all I have to do is plug it in to my computer and watch them. Which means no issues with streaming and no fees.

[@HomeCinemaEnthusiast]

I’m back collecting as sick of paying streaming services

[@marcus813]

I grew up with VHS cassettes, so I love to see it! I wonder if there's a store like that in my neck of the woods.

Almost 3000 DVD's and over 200 Laser Disc's. Wish i didnt get rid of my VHS collection had alot of hard to get ones and OOP ones also .

[@monsieurmike2072]

I also got rid of all my Laserdisc movies and beta/vhs movies collection and players a few years back and also my cassettes and vinyl collection from the 80's and posters.. A guy came and took it all...I sold it for pennies to be quite honest..practically gave it all away. Took up a lot of space in my apt and also had to pay storage fees. I just got tired of it all. I have no regrets i have my fond memories...that's enough for me.

Question: Suppose VHS tapes start being made again. How will they look on a 16x9 screen, vs a 4x3? Will the image know how to stretch or compress (like a DVD)?

[@TomIannucci22]

Yes it will stretch the 4×3 to 16×9. I have a vcr hooked up to my flat screen.

[@stpat7614]

@@TomIannucci22 What I mean is, if I pop in a new letterboxed VHS tape and watch on a 16x9. Will the new tape know this is a 16x9 screen and stretch accordingly? Or will it think it's a 4x3 and show black bars on all four sides?

[@TomIannucci22]

@stpat7614 it depends on if your TV is set to wide or full. Set it to wide and there will only be bars on the top and bottom from the tape's signal.

[@stpat7614]

@@TomIannucci22 Most VHS tapes though were designed for 4x3, even letterboxed ones. I think stretching a letterboxed DVD would destroy the resolution. Modern VHS tapes though might be designed for 16x9.

This is incredibly stupid. Collecting VHS is incredibly stupid. Thrift stores don't watch every movie all the way through. Many have crinkled/wrinkled magnetic tape in the cassettes. Old VHS tapes are hard on the equipment heads. You can't see it, but the magnetic particles flake off on the heads.
