This exact thing happened to a tape of rare TV shows that a friend sent me in around 2001. When you stopped the tape, you could hear the reel flange continue to rotate on its own for a few seconds. The tape still played ok, but I thought it was safer to replace the broken reel with another one just like you did.

Another poor BASF tape... But hey at least that one is in better shape than what they usually are!😄

What's odd, is some VCR's in the early 90's had a mid speed, not just SP (2hr T-120), SLP (6hr T-120), but something inbetween like LP (4hr T-120), or EP (alt 6hr T-120). I'm wondering if some VCR's have trouble reading that format.

@PrankZabba 22 дня назад

Had to watch it a few times. Just incase you tried to put it on upside down. Because it won't work that way. But they line up inside the reels, and you got to twist it on. Like grab the back and front and twist them until they click together.

@james42519 2 месяца назад

Why would you splice a tape when there is a clip that you can pop out and use that?

@FlopsyHamster 2 месяца назад

I thought the same thing. There's a little tab on the hub that can slide out, and release the tape from the hub without cutting it. You gotta be careful to snap the clip back into place, though. It slides out, but will often push the tape leader off center if you slide it back in with the tape in place. Ya gotta snap it back in to reattach the tape leader. Splicing should always be a last resort.

As someone who did a lot with reel to reel tapes in their life, just the sound of that tape winding was enough. That's a tape that's gone sticky. I wouldn't have even put this in my vcr honestly. Time to bake it! :D I do wonder if it made it to the end, I think the reason it worked at some point is because of the winding and rewinding of the first section.

You mentioned Elgato software at the start. Is this what you use for transfers?

@EmeraldCoastDigitizing 2 месяца назад

Yes I do! Anyone can get them. Get you a couple vcrs and an elgato for about $200 and get to work!

@damian9303 2 месяца назад

You do realize that you can pop off the plastic through the bottom of the reel with a paperclip? Thats why it has the feeder so you can just clamp it back on without any need for splicing.

@EmeraldCoastDigitizing 2 месяца назад

I do! I do that sometimes.. guess you’ll just have to watch more videos.. but… if it came out once it an happen again! So might as well use tape just in case

@EmeraldCoastDigitizing 2 месяца назад

Same. TV AND BLANKS I DONT CHARGE FOR…. I check them front to back for home movies. So I had to fix this to check it!

@magnusterminus4728 2 месяца назад

Hmm, you are using a vcr with composite output and not a model with y/c separated outputs. this will degrade the quality. I have been digitizing tapes from the 60, 70, 80 and 90 for over30 years so I know what is involved.

@cohort6159 2 месяца назад

A few weeks ago I found a NIB video capture device that does component video capture. Haven't had a chance to get it going but I have great hope that it will do better than composite or chroma/luma SVideo capture. I have collected many SVHS and Digital VHS players to hopefully do better jobs than an Elgato on a basic player.

@jr-pl9kj 2 месяца назад

really should not transfer copyrighted tv shows and movies, it be much better to find out the names of the movies and direct your customers to ebay or amazon to purchase them or the local library to borrow the movies. less unnecessary work for you, plus you dont want to run out of spare tape parts for the important home (camcorder) movies.

@EmeraldCoastDigitizing 2 месяца назад

That’s what I do. But gotta check the whole tape for home movies.

I'm just wondering; it was legal to record shows off the TV back in the day for your own viewing pleasure, right? Why wouldn't making a copy of that be legal?

@proudofyourroots9575 2 месяца назад

@@rollingtroll For home use its fine, i think the issue is that he is charging for these services, so that would come into it. He could get done for commercial reproduction of copyrighted material for profit. Only people allowed to do that are the rights holders themselves.

@jr-pl9kj 2 месяца назад

@@rollingtroll yes it's legal to record off of tv, ruled out by the supreme courts years ago, but recording or copying to sell for personal profit without monetary gain and without permission to the copyright owner is illegal, plus the movie shown in the video (i believe to be "Willow") is already on dvd and blu-ray, it be pointless to save or copy from VHS. however there are movies on VHS and Beta that are not yet on dvd and it be worth saving them on dvdr for personal use. known as "fair use copyright" which is legal.

@@jr-pl9kjhow about if the TV series recorded is no longer available anywhere?
