I don't think any more companies are making them now.

I get mine at Sears, of all places. They sell Maxell.

Checking Amazon, it looks as if most of their listings state few remaining, order soon. It appears that supply of video tapes is indeed drying up. Is anybody actually producing them anymore?

Yes I agree.Leave it to these progress idiots and thats what happens.I dont mind the technology moving on but dont shove it down our mouths .
I bought the last batch last January which were Maxell and now Sears is eliminating their electronic dept to expand their bedding dept in the mall. Quote:
Yes I check some of those the other day.I found . www.checkoutstore.com/ https://www.deltamedia.com/pg_blank_video_tape_new.html https://www.tapeonline.com Note .They hammer you with the inflated shipping charges. |

There's a bunch of NOS tapes on ebay, many from the 80's and 90's when they were better quality.

Yes with better housings too with thicker plastic .These newer ones from the last 10 years are paper thin and you can put your finger nail through the case.Also if you drop them at even 4 feet off the ground .They will shatter like glass.

PNY still lists them on their website under the Memorex brand. They won't sell direct, but you might try reaching out to them for information on current retailers.

I've bought them at garage or yard sales. The thrift shop, I usually frequent is like a gold mine. They usually have the items I can use, at reasonable prices.

I've had 100% recording success rate and recorded disc playability rate since learning the procedure in the manual of my Toshiba DVD recorder 5 years ago. The discs are cheaper than tape and you'll never get tape noise or drop outs again.

I save very few recordings, I make. The last movie I recorded, was Bonnie and Clyde from PBS, no commercials. I was surprised to see a movie like that shown on educational TV. |

Some of my archived stuff may get VHS and S-VHS to S-VHS, DVD, and digital copy transfers in the future to better organize it, remove damaged copies of episodes and redundant copies of episodes....I'll keep an analog copy of the analog cable era stuff to preserve the original experience and digital for redundancy. My VHS decks still get use as players, but at this point I can't find value in regular time-shifting/archiving of new material anymore.

My DVD recorder allows SP/LP/EP speeds, even on a DVD+R. Quality does vary as a result. I have recorded many 8 hour discs.

I also have a Panasonic DMR-E80H DVR/DVD recorder. I mostly use it's DVR section...It is a free DVR not tied to cable or tivo or any other crap....I just set it like a VCR and later watch my programs and when done either delete them or dub them to DVD...It is that easy. Both units were thrift shop finds and I spent less than $40 a piece.
