It's quite the project I've been working on the past year. So far, 72 videos converted! You literally have to play the entire video as it converts and some of them are over 2 hours long!
VHS (Video Home System) videos were a popular format for home video recording and playback during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Developed by JVC (Victor Company of Japan) in the mid-1970s, VHS quickly gained widespread adoption and became the dominant video format for consumers.
VHS tapes were large rectangular cassettes that contained magnetic tape wound on spools inside a plastic housing. The standard VHS cassette measured about 18.1 cm (7.125 inches) wide, 10.2 cm (4 inches) deep, and 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. The tape was 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide, and it ran at a speed of about 1.33 centimeters per second.
VHS offered a convenient and affordable way for people to record television shows, movies, and home videos. VCRs (videocassette recorders) allowed users to record and play back content on VHS tapes. The recording process involved encoding the video and audio signals onto the magnetic tape in an analog format. To play back the recorded content, the VCR would read the magnetic tape and convert it back into video and audio signals for display on a television.
VHS tapes had several advantages and limitations. One of the key advantages was their ability to record and playback video content. People could use VHS tapes to capture their favorite TV shows, rent movies from video rental stores, or create their own home videos. VHS tapes also offered the convenience of rewinding and fast-forwarding to specific sections of the tape, allowing users to skip commercials or find specific scenes.
However, VHS tapes had some limitations compared to modern digital formats. The analog nature of the format meant that the video and audio quality were not as high as digital formats like DVD or Blu-ray. VHS tapes were also susceptible to wear and tear over time, resulting in degradation of the picture and audio quality. Additionally, VHS tapes took up physical space and required physical storage, unlike digital files that can be easily stored on computer hard drives or cloud storage.
VHS remained popular until the late 1990s when DVDs (digital versatile discs) started to gain traction. DVDs offered better video and audio quality, smaller physical size, and other features such as interactive menus and bonus content. Eventually, DVDs were replaced by Blu-ray discs, and now digital streaming services have become the primary method for accessing video content.
While VHS videos are no longer the dominant format, they hold nostalgic value for many people who grew up during the era of VCRs and video rental stores. Some collectors and enthusiasts still appreciate the unique qualities and charm of VHS tapes, making them sought-after items in the vintage and retro market.
That's cool man. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Thanks bud!
tapes be are like a movie be netflix in 2020 are now netflix movie
Yup
I still have the VHS tape my ex father in law recorded off the TV as 911 was happening
Sad day in history!! Convert it to digital as it probably has local commercials etc.
Omg i want to see
Dang you should post that, it's a piece of history.
Same. My grand aunt recorded cnn.
That's cool how you just pop in a VHS tape and instead of the TV/Computer its a device. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Wow, the memories that you didn't know that you didn't need. Lol
I don't know about that, my son loves seeing videos of me when I was his age. Also if you had death in your family a good way to remember those lost.
Maybe because you were born on the streets

@@jamzdotnetim 9 years old my grandpa died when i was around 5 or 6 ive been trying to see if might be a few VHS tapes of him so yea I relate. been also trying to find some tapes of my dad too we have a VCR but we don't know if it works.My dad does not want to destroy any VHS tapes so we need to find a "test subject" tape do you have any idea were we could find one by chance?
@@fakkid379 Go to the local goodwill. No doubt you'll find some old VHs vids to test! Good luck!
72 is commandable 👏 I only had 12 and it was tiring. Just having to make sure none of them failed in the process and my SD card got curropted half way through one. Luckily i saved each one on my desktop as i went along.
It's certainly a time consuming process!!!
Please make sure you have at least five backups on different media. CDs dvd, hard drives, flash drives or Thumb drives. And NEVER throw out the originals.
I know someone who paid to have VHS and 8mm transferred to dvd.
They threw away everything thinking, its future proof on DVD. The dvd no longer plays.😢
@@DreamStarGalaxy I store the MP4 on the cloud and a backup on my local NAS
@@jamzdotnet Don’t trust a cloud with precious memories. I would have more backups.
@DreamStarGalaxy I already have them backed up on two SD cards, the original USB, my laptop, and my google drive. I'm working to get them on CD (mostly for convenience in watching them on my DVD player.)
I stored all the originals in airtight bags inside an airtight container.
Previously, they were stored in a washroom basement which is probably why one of the tapes unfortunately corroded due to moisture.
I have that same VCR!
Awesome!
I had like 7 or 8 vhs tapes the oldest one that i converted was from 1993!. Ive never seen my mom that young cuz no one in india could afford wedding videographer back then in my parents village. And the crazy thing is Im the only one in my whole family that knows how to do this and my relatives have been asking me to convert their wedding tapes.
Awesome!! It's great to convert and share with family!!
My parents wedding cassette from 90's is in VCR format but I don't have any VCR player and they're not available in the market now 😢
Try Goodwill or eBay
You can go to a media shop that convert VHS to DVDs or Digital
Que modelo es la videograbadora porque me gusta ver cómo se encoge la letra
Es una vieja videograbadora Panasonic que tuve durante años. Tendré que mirar el modelo en la parte de atrás.
my family have a vcr for 1970s in a 70s house my dad have
Convert those VHS vids!! They start fading after 30 years!
@@jamzdotnetI have cassettes of these and it still was from 30 years ago. Even the player was from 30 years ago too, however surprisingly still it works best. My VCR was only having a fuss cause color was lost, but I just had to clean the heads. Now works like top notch!
@@jamzdotnetlol please stop lying to people .. your listing to everything the Internet says. Yeah it says there's a life expectancy of 30 years but that's because people don't take care of them. If you store them correctly then they will last
Is that a sermon you’re about to digitise? Would you be willing to upload that?
It's a kids Christmas show at the church in 1985 :)
Hey! That's my bday!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for such masterpiece
I want to watch my parents marriage video how to get this vcr player
It will work on any VCR with the inputs :)
😊😊😊😊
Pretty cool, huh? Thanks for watching!
Play saw that welcome to the back rooms
Not sure I follow you... But thanks for watching!
Clearclicks are cheap simple but they totally rape your video signal.
Overall I have been very pleased. I am just happy to get three off VHS before total degradation on the VHS.
@@jamzdotnet vhs has a pretty long life. If you keep it well you can save up to get a vcr with a line tbc, a frame tbc, and a capture card. You can resell it for what you pay for it. That stuff holds its value pretty well. The thing is it’s a lot more trouble and time consuming. There’s a lot to look into. The clearclick is definently the simplest way to do it. The not simple but best way to do it is the way that the guys at digitalfaq do it.
Now you have me curious, what event was the church service that you recorded?
Hah! It was a Christmas play!
Does it only work for homemade videos or can I record any vhs
Any VHS
When you convert it does it erase the physical tape and also how do you convert it have a bunch of old family tapes I need to digitize before they stop working
Thanks for watching. No, it doesn't erase the tape. The tape is just playing, in the VCR. Think of the device as a little TV and the memory stick is saving what is played, that's it. You convert them, using this device, as one method.
I have vhs tapes. I want to convert it to usb. what is this device called so i can buy it.
You can buy it here: amzn.to/3O1zULL -- Good luck!
Bro i want to convert please help
Buy this device. Look at the comment I pinned. Makes it easy.
So if you convert to usb drive does it work on tv with usb or you need to do something with the usb?
It converts it to an MP4 which I put on a private UA-cam channel for my family. They watch via the UA-cam app on their smart TV.
@@jamzdotnet round of applause. You are very clever, my sir.
Question for you if you know:
If I plugged in an SSD instead of a usb thumb drive, do you think if the device would register it and just start recording as normal?
How can I transfer video from device like iPhone tablet etc to a VHS tape? In 2023
Stream to your TV via device, VHS recorded hooked to TV and recording? Bigger question is why?
What are you using for it??:0
Those good home vids ;)
@@jamzdotnet sorry what software or gear lol
@@miloc6507 Haha.. they will convert right to MP4 on a USB stick. I edit some, but not all. If I do, I use Adobe Premier. However, the device is 100% stand alone
What's the name of the recorder ?
Clear Click: amzn.to/3QkYiJw
@@jamzdotnet you know that doesn’t work anymore.
@@uahrf What the link? I just clicked it and it's fine. The product is clear click.

Thanks for watching! You can buy it here: amzn.to/3O1zULL

Keeping it old school!
