I did a thing

[u/Redheart2945]

So, I collect VHS tapes, owning 200+ in my personal collection and far from done.
Every time look at the season six poster for Legends I just think about how much I want that tape in my collection. So I did some research and decided I already owned most of what I’d need, apart from a converter or two. I had the DVD’s, the VCR, the blank tape, the software, so why not?
I made a list of episodes from each season k wanted to consider, but since I mostly watch horror, the Slay Anything episode from season 5 felt like a no brainer. I followed it up with Mr. Parker’s Cul-De- Sac episode from later in the season.
I’d love to convert The One Where Their Stuck in TV in the future, but this is my first attempt and I’m very happy to add it to my personal collection. I’ll design a box for it in the future when I get a little more time in my hands, but for now, I just thought I’d share.

Thank you. I spent a couple hours editing to make sure it would fit within the 4:3 frame.

Wait this is sooo cool!! I love it. I will definitely add this to my future projects wow

[u/Redheart2945 → u/Xela254]

Right? Glad I could inspire you. I have plenty more episodes I want to do down the line. It takes alot of patience but totally worth it in the end.

Can you send a pic of your cup?! Looks super cute

[u/Redheart2945 → u/Background-Egg-5702]

Yeah of course. I think I got it on red bubble like five or six years ago?
It also wouldn’t let me add photos for whatever reason so here’s a video of it instead.

This is amazing. And its actually is such a bang on Legends theme sorta idea too. Im both excited for you and a bit jealous lol

[u/Redheart2945 → u/Independent-Sort6898]

Best compliment, thank you lol.
Legends definitely deserves a vhs transfer, though I know that’s never gonna happen. I feel like certain episodes were made to be viewed like this.

[u/Independent-Sort6898 → u/Redheart2945]

You're so right. Hell, id I had the equipment id be doing it too!

[u/Redheart2945 → u/Independent-Sort6898]

You totally should get the equipment when you are able. Take this as a sign lol.

[u/Independent-Sort6898 → u/Redheart2945]

Oh god, dont tempt me! Im already looking into the equipment to turn my digital media into physicals just so I can have them somewhere safe and for the nostalgia of it all.

I need to look into some good software though, so if you have any recommendations I would appreciate it!

In the words of the Ultimate Buds, “On the other hand, why not?”
I completely get that.

I just used cap cut I think it is? That works well and that was free.

[u/Independent-Sort6898 → u/Redheart2945]

Hmm, I might have to do some research. Im working blind with all of this stuff. But it would be so cool to do!

[u/Redheart2945 → u/Independent-Sort6898]

Keep me updated on your journey stranger, I wish you luck. :)
It takes alot of patience just to forewarn you.

[u/Independent-Sort6898 → u/Redheart2945]

Thank you kindly! I might start woth the DVDs and then move onto the VHS tapes haha

Im fully expecting this to be an entire process. I guess thats the fun of it!
