>Physical media stays winning

Also these are pressed so they won't degrade

>>213584783 (OP)
I just pirate everything

>>213584783 (OP)
We tried to warn people, streaming was a fade they won't properly pay rights every year

>>213584783 (OP)

>>213585405
owning physical will become theft eventually, screencap this

>>213584783 (OP)
better keep those in a very good temperature so you don't get disc rot

>>213584783 (OP)
my dad had over 300 VHS tapes of shit he taped off TV from the 80s-00's

>>213585440
>>213585455
And god help you if it's a WB disc manufactured between 2006 and 2008: https://www.avclub.com/warner-bros-replacing-disc-rot-dvd

>>213585459
This could make you rich, who knows if he tapped something rare

>>213585440
This mostly applies to burned media, glass mastered is less of a concern as long as the substrate doesn't oxidize

>>213585459
Thats plenty of Kino choices.

OH N-

>>213585551
I digitized most of it and sold off a chunk for $250

>>213585459
My dad did the same thing. He eventually got rid of most of them for the DVD release. It was cool being able to see so many old classic movies as a kid before streaming was a thing.

>>213585603
That's the life, dealing with outdated tech getting new media to the world

A huge dvd collection is good until your house catches fire and all that plastic goes up like 100 gallons of petrol

>>213585662
it took weeks of learning how to capture properly , deinterlace, and put it in a format that still retains quality.

sadly the first round of tapes I did I used the wrong capture methods but I had already sold off the tapes, so those will likely not make it to youtube soon

fuck using the .ts format

>>213585708
I feel you, video capture was a wild endeavor, you worked with what you had and dealt with the results, I was a vhs tapper too, I had 6 hours of channel browsing on one tape, the amount of weird lost shit was astonishing

>>213585603
I got a question for you: is it worth encoding to 1080p for youtube uploads?

>>213585805
my encoder only captures 480p natively. YT is weird because it will force a shitty bitrate on your videos if you upload them at that size. I'd upscale to 720p with forced sidebars, just so YT handles the encoding process properly.

it will ALWAYS look like shit on yt no matter how good the source video is.

caveat: if you do upload 1080 you can use it as shill marketing for clicks by saying "UPSCALED 1080P 60FPS RTX MODE ON"

>>213585782
it really is man, going from analog to digital has so many factors. not to mention size
a 6 hour tape uncompressed is about 40+GB

my final workflow was:
VCR > DVD player with built in TBC > hauppage usblive 2 capture device > amarecTV with LAGS codec > virtualdubmod for filters > avisynthfor QTMGC deinterlacing > virtualdubmod > final MP4 output file deinterlaced to 59.97 fps, ready to stream/share

Bongs don't matter

>>213585459
Meh, my grandad has about 1400 tapes, mostly 6 and 8 hours long each. He started to record shit in the early 80s.
He only lot a few tapes due to defective VHS players, but never to the damage of time. Hell, hi oldest tapes are the one that are the best preserved because they are quality tapes unlike the ones that were made for cheap in the 2000+
He was subscribed to movie channels all his life so he has lots of obscure little movies that never made it to dvd. He only recorded movies, no shows, no docu, just movies. He has about 5000 movies.
He's been very disappointed with the last decade of new movies.

I had this great-uncle who was pretty much a hermit in his last years of life and wouldn't talk to anyone.
When he died, we discovered he had like dozens of HDDs full of VHS footage taped off TV since the 80s.
I pretty much deleted everything to sell the drives and never found the actual tapes.

I torrented all my movies so I have the bottom pic's collection without wasting an entire room of my house to shelving for it.

>>213585927
>hauppage usblive 2 capture device
I got this recently and it was a huge upgrade for the shitty easycap clone I had.
My workflow is pretty simples, I just capture the raw video using Virtualdub, trim the video and use Staxip to deinterlace and encode to MP4.
I really have no space to keep 50GB avi files archived.

>>213585927
Built in TBC?

This fat smug American zogslave is revolting.

>>213585603
nice. thanks for sharing

>>213586772
a few DVD players have a psuedo tbc circuit built in as a byproduct of the design. I found that running my VCR through the dvd player then OUT as S-VIDEO stabilized the shaky picture.
It also lets you FFD/RW on modern tv's without losing the signal

>>213586847
I have a dual dvd vhs never tried to see if it worked

>>213586847
This is a capture from a VHS camera using the vcr>dvd method, see how stabile the image is?

>>213586929
Needs v sync

480p quality on my 85in screen!

>>213586987
A TBC costs over $1000, not worth it

>>213584783 (OP)
>i even have soda and popcorn
bullshit, we all know guy on the bottom only drinks water and eats celery

>>213587001
You are looking at the wrong place those emulator mini pcs do v sync to any plug ever made

>>213585600
It doesnt count, american houses are made out of matchsticks.

>>213587135
When you have to simulate a house fire to emulate what the streaming being down does

>>213586997
wait until you find out VCR native output is 320x240i

>>213585459
>>213585627
>>213586053
Do/did you ever wonder if there's something legit wrong with your fathers for having done this?

>>213587902
yeah my dad was already paying for cable and for Showtime, so why not capture them to watch later anyways?

>>213584783 (OP)
>some soda and popcorn

physical memedia can never win

>Getting your favourite movies for the low price of some vhs tapes is crazy
Nigger

>>213586847
Here

Is very unclean so am not gonna post it but it is dvd vhs recorder, back in the day made pirating vhs easy but then everyone wanted to copy vhs to dvd and it couldn't so I ended up with it, I assume whatever chip this uses will do both I will know after I remove the spiderlings

>>213585440
Never seen this in my life and I have cheap burned CDs from the 90s

>>213588096
You need three factors water condensed water and temperature changes, but I do recall some cases of weird stored cd suddenly degrading

>>213588022
what country is this bro

>>213588246
Region 4, I have no clue how it ended in Chile this things always do every hop in maritime commerce

>>213585440
If you live in a humid shithole or store your CD’s somewhere in direct sun, then you deserve physical damage to your property.

>>213585600
How's the guy a hypocrite? He didn't torch the house himself, did he?

>>213588324
I dont even think that'll do it. But strong very prolonged sunlight will fade the cover spine.

>he doesn't store all his kino on 5d optical crystals

>>213584783 (OP)
the issue with a lot of physical media fags is that they just buy things that are very easily accessible online that you can get online with ease, instead of buying obscure films on disc, which would actually make sense

How long would it take you to play 2,000 games across 30 systems? It's probably a good 15-20 minutes just to unhook one system and hook up another.

>>213584783 (OP)
No thanks, that's where I keep my home gym. Also I enjoy the company of women from time to time.

>>213590106
Really good insurance is only about 50 cents a day at most. And fire is the best because you can just show em all your burnt shit.

>>213585504
disc rot only happens if the disc is manufactured improperly to begin with. or kept in binders. otherwise they never deteriorate. i have been collecting cds since 1990 and have some of the earliest pressings from the early 80s. they all look brand new and play great. zero problems unless they were made with substandard materials

>>213584783 (OP)
Part of me wishes I used my ps3 for something other than video games when I first got it.

>>213590390
What effect do the binders have?

Should have given it to Internet Archive

>>213586684
any naughty films?

This happened to me when I wanted to watch The Punisher (2004) notice it wasn't streaming anywhere so I just put on my dvd copy

>>213590581
they seem to destroy discs through some sort of chemical reaction. ive been on some forums where people post pics of one or two of their cds asking if this is disc rot. these people always admit they kept all their discs in binders. binders just seem to destroy discs

So how long until Netflix no longer works on here.

>>213586053
My MOM did the same thing. I think she has almost 1000 tapes.

It's crazy, she can't handle a smartphone without fucking up things, but her VHS skills were amazing. She used to hook up 2 players and copy from one tape to another.

>>213592373
Just get a streaming usb stick. They're cheap

Does an SSD full of kino rips count as physical media?
