Dorset_Cider Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well my Dad (passed away October 2012) had season after season of 80's / 90's HTV + Points West highlights on Video 2000 & VHSGenerally the quality was fairly poor due to the TV signal down here in Dorset.There is a possibility that my Mum might consider letting you have A) The Video 2000 Player (believe it still works) and B)the Vids + the VHS stuff but it would be a mammoth venture to sift through it all.Probably find there is not as much as I thought...... but I still think there is a fair bit..... if not the mammoth amount.No promises that she will say yes, but I have often thought of you regarding the matter (even before Dad died).Strings attached....... if it happens & you get it on to DVD, a few copies might be required.It would be a mission though...... realtime conversion & all that...... but you like that kind of thing don't you ?

Dorset_Cider Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wow I just had to google what a video 2000 wasIt was probably the best domestic video system other than betamax.VHS being inferior to both in my opinion, but more popular due to the video market being flooded by VHS backed by the mass market companies & film companies releasing more films on the format etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose VHS, DVD and BluRay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
