    i get anxiety when i think about curious regular people and historians alike in the year 50,000 looking through the internet domain and missing out on a lot information purely becuase language will have changed so much they won’t know the terms to use

    That’s a pretty nasty interlacing effect going on there. Does the software not offer a de-interlacing option?

      Most shoes come with lacing. But you can also buy shoes with Velcro, if you are too lazy to tie them 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The tapes are probably more permanent than the digital versions, but I want to digitize them because waiting for hours worth of tape to rewind is a hastle.

      Not a chance. He can make copies of the video and mirror them on the internet. With a python script, he can even schedule it every four years to prevent bit rot.

    I had the same camera! But now I can’t find it and don’t know how to get my footage off the tapes 😫

    Legend has it that all those videos are stored in Google Photos forever.

    I have an old Hi8 Sony Handycam and a Pinnacle Video Transfer. I have done this, but I have not ever finished all the tapes. I hit play on the tapes, and hit record on the PVT device, and it puts it on a flash drive as mp4 format. I copy it to the computer, Google Photos, and YouTube as my backups. Yea, Facebook too, why not? It will reside there forever.
