VHS


Although I'm fairly savvy when it comes to computers, I've ignored other parts of the technology revolution. I don't own an iPod and I still watch movies on VHS tapes. I bought a DVD recorder and have transferred many of those movies. But the quality of the DVD copies leaves a lot to be desired. I do use a small video processing unit to help improve the picture quality. Still, the video transfer is not as good as I had hoped. So I hang onto my VHS tapes. A number of old movies that I like were never made available on DVD, at least not in the US. Many of Kenji Mizoguchi's films, for example, are not available on DVD. I'm just glad I held onto my VHS player.
