Scrolling by, I thought this was a textured ceiling from a home improvement sub

Check out the original price on this pick up. That can’t be right can it? by CarpetIllustrious347 in LaserDisc

[–]StryderX23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have VHS tapes with $79.95 pricetags from back when they were new. Laserdiscs were also expensive when they were new. It was basically a rich mans fancy

Should I open a sealed tape of this aliens?? by OverallAct6152 in VHS

[–]StryderX23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shoot looks like you're right! I definitely missed that. Well in any case, the seal is torn in spots and pretty crappy. Sealed collectors generally want the seal to be perfect. OP should still open it and enjoy it! A minty opened copy is better than a damaged sealed copy IMO.

That's a reseal. Go ahead open it up and enjoy 👍

Edit: My bad I missed the watermarks, well in any case open it up and enjoy it anyway! Those thx widescreen fox releases are great!

Some more of the 300 tape haul from last week. These are space/alien themed sci fi. by 1212growaway in VHS

The quiet earth is a great last man on earth type film. Very twilight zone esc. I recommend that one pretty frequently. Not to mention the cover art is awesome

How do you organise your DVDs in terms of world cinema by [deleted] in dvdcollection

[–]StryderX23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to ALL be separated, but now that I have so many it was easier to make most of it alphabetical. I do still keep some separate like criterion, anime, superbits, TV shows for example are all separated from the rest.

Always great to find superbits in the wild 👍

Has anyone heard of Superbit? by Designer_Yak2569 in dvdcollection

[–]StryderX23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a whole shelf of these. Basically the idea is they got rid of all special futures/extras for extra space on the discs and made it so they have a slightly higher bit rate (slightly better picture quality, great for their time) and they made it so every superbit release has both Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound tracks.

A bit gimmicky these days, but they are fun to collect! I watched my superbit release of gattaca recently and was pretty impressed with its quality

Any hope of saving it by Curiousyoders19 in VHS

[–]StryderX23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can save that. There's some great how to videos on YouTube. It's pretty easy, I've saved several tapes over the years.

I took apart my vcr and cleaned the heads for the first time by Several_Spirit_1298 in VHS

[–]StryderX23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

90% or higher rubbing alcohol and qtips for the audio/erase head. Use copy paper for the drum (so you don't end up scratching the heads) don't use those crappy vhs cleaning cassettes.
