Look over your collection of DVD's and VHS tapes. Do you have duplicates? When DVD's became the accepted movie channel, many of us purchased DVD's of the same movies for the crisper, more intense picture. It's OK to part with VHS tapes, especially if you have the movie elsewhere. My husband saw me using a work out DVD and, knowing I have used VHS ones in the past, hopefully and excitedly asked, "So, do we even need to keep the VHS player anymore?" I kindly informed him that my Reebok Versa Training workouts were still VHS. (Can't you tell by my strong arms??)
If your family has moved into the Blu-ray realm, you may find duplicates of DVD's and Blu-ray films. No need to have duplicates. Feel free to donate or sell extras.
Okay, I admit that I have a hard time parting with DVDs and VHS tapes. Some of them were really expensive at the time. I don't mind keeping duplicates of Blu-ray and their DVD counterpart because the DVD player in the car only plays DVDs. Fortunately most of my duplicates were packaged together in the same container. I did get rid of a movie container with a missing DVD. We have searched high and low and can't find the movie.
ReplyDeleteConfession time: One of these days, I'll get rid of my Betamax machine and blank tapes. My dad bought it for me right after my mom passed away. It's been in a box in the garage at the other house for years.
Susan, they say confession is good for the soul. :) I wonder if Betamax machines are a collector's item yet on e-bay...
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were at this again Heidi. I have a comment on Susan's post. I found my DVD inside another DVD case (or was it a CD case?) At any rate, it might be worth it to go through your DVDs and CDs and see if any are mixed up.
Video can be recorded in different screen ratios. For example, it can have ratio of 4:3, which is a standard television ratio, or widescreen - 16:9. Widescreen image have two types: Letterbox and anamorphic. In the first case image is simply cropped at th wonnie dvd player
