  • I purchased a pre-recorded 90 minute tape from a Yankee One Dollar store for 25 cents instead of $2 for a new blank tape.

    I'm going to buy goldeneye on vhs then record goldeneye on Nintendo 64 on it then I'll take it to a different thrift shop and someone else would get fooled.

    Thanks man, this really helped me and a couple friends accomplish a task that we had a real time crunch on. Instead of cabin fever we recorded over cruel intentions, a 1999 flop starring Reese Witherspoon and the oft forgotten Ryan Filipe. It's raunchy and high stakes fever love film. Duff says hi.

    You don't have to do all that shit with the paper. Just stick tape over the hole. Duct tape if you really wanna make sure it doesn't fall off.
    And you can get a pack of blank VHS tapes on eBay for like, $10. Each time you record over the tape, the quality will degrade.

    I discovered this trick when i was a kid, i simply compared blank vhs tapes to pre recorded tapes, i noticed when i snapped out the little flap as designed the blank vhs became non re-writable, as you can imagine our video collection started to shrink as i would record tv shows over them lol

    Use opaque tape to block light so that you can re-record over a pre-recorded VHS tape.

    I don't think this will be an issue for me, my anut gave my dad and mom about 200 hundered blank vhs tapes in 1995, they're maxwell and memorex so they have lasted a long-ass time. The "professionally done" tapes always lasted the longest.

    I already knew about this when VHS was still in modern use in 2006. All I did was put a piece of paper in my mouth to get it wet, and then all I had to do was smash the wet paper inside that square hole. I had a lot of movies that people gave me that sucked, so I just recorded over them with TV shows I liked at the time. Whenever a tape got worn out, I just threw it in the trash and grabbed another movie to record over, I did it all the time. xD

    Use your VHS VCR videorecorders and blank VHS tapes to get even with the NEWS MEDIA and tell your friends to just use their VCR VIDEORECORDRS !

    Are you telling me that a pre-recorded VHS tape with a copyrighted material on it is cheaper than a blank VHS tape with nothing on it? I assumed that movie tapes were higher in price because of first of all the quality (it's 1st gen tape, straight from factory), and of course because the material is copyrighted (so you basically purchase a licence to watch it, which supports the creator, or at least should). A full movie for 25 cents? That's cheap as hell :D

    • @impatrickt
      @impatrickt 2 роки тому

      technically the quality is worse for recording because you will be the second person recording onto it

    Can you please I had any problems I'll explain it. You don't want to do the top of the tape You want to go to the bottom of the tape at that part of the notch. That's a thing that I had problems with. For example if you want to record on a tape say toy story you would want to go underneath the little notch on it. For other tapes I'll just say where the barcode / title / opposite side that you put it in is where you put the tape. Also you don't need to use tape and all the things that he did I just used some thick Scotch tape. Bye.

  • @Dillinify
    @Dillinify 11 років тому

    Do you know how to do the same thing to an audio cassette tape? I'm not sure which hole to put the paper in. If you do, it would be nice if you'd make a video.

    • @danek_hren
      @danek_hren Рік тому

      Sounds like you have type 2 or 4 cassette. OF COURSE I'm too late to the party but if you are alive then you have to mask the closest to the left side hole only. Same on the other side. Covering other holes can result the deck into thinking that this is different tape.
