Re: Jim Marcus & Oiling Rails? VHS v DVD editing

Greg,
Thank you for your technical explanation of DVD v VHS, I think the simple answer is for me to find my glasses!
I bought a lot of VHS tapes back in the 80s when I had some $$$. Those days are long gone as I am on Social Security (thin cents instead of $$$!), I try to replace VHS tapes when the price or subject is right but I still have a LOT of VHS tapes, Maybe hundreds,,,,never counted. I am surprised how well the VHS tapes have survived. They've been in a outside shed with temps for 20 below to 120 above. Low humidity,,,maybe too low at 10% or so. A few have lost their color a few have broken but its a rarely happens. The tapes are mostly 30 or 40 years old,,and look at all of those wheels and fragile tape and so on.Somehow they continue to work. Better than me some 30 or 40 years later!
