Still have not opened a box yet. What a waste. But I broke my habit.
A friend just asked me about the hundreds of video tape copies of movies, she got from her uncle.
I replied that the quality probably wouldn't be that good. I seems to me that, the longer the tapes are kept after being recorded, the picture quality diminishes. Especially, when recorded in the SLP speed.
Factory made pre-recorded tapes, held up much better.
