VHS C TO VHS WITHOUT ADAPTER

EXCELENTE TUTORIAL AMIGO

Thanks for the quick fix :) . Tried this once but I unrolled the whole vhs-c onto a regular vhs wheel. Everything turned out to be upside down and backwards ..any idea what I did wrong?

Excellent idea ! Im a videograper since 1989

Great video. I had one vhs c tape. I bought an adaptor. I ran it through an elgato interface, to my laptop. There didn’t appear to be anything on the tape. I threw it away. My friend said I shouldn’t have done that. He said there could’ve been something on the tape. I fished it out of the trash. Could there be something on the vhs c tape? I don’t have the adaptor or the interface any more.

How did you solve the hole size????

you are outstanding ( my brother ) great job ( but I did buy a vidbox ) video conversion suite that is great. but just to let you no ( this video is great )

Nice tutorial VHS-C adapters are very hard to find these days. It took me like 2 years to find a adapter

Pero esto no es ninguna ciencia amigo !!!. Antes se hacía lo mismo cuando se rompía un cassette de audio. Se lo cambiaba de la carcaza rota a una nueva en mejores condiciones. Incluso se vendían y eran de color blanco para armar cintas con la duración que uno deseaba. Lo usaban mucho las agencias de publicidad para enviar sus promociones comerciales a las radios.

Hi. What screwdriver are you using? Really difficult to get the screws out.

super...thanks

Unless it is moldy or showing signs of other progressive disintegration, one should NEVER throw away the original tapes. They have already lasted 20-45 years, and if they're in good condition now, they'll likely last that much longer at least. In the future you may find a better transfer method and you'll need the original tape to take advantage of it. Also, it's one more layer of backup in case you lose your digital files.

Tengo varias cintas pequeñas, y no conseguí adaptadores, justo pensé en hacer eso. gracias hermano, buen video.

Awesome! Thanks for documenting this. I wasnt feeling like having to buy a adapter just for the digitization of 2 VHS-C Cassettes and then having to resell or trash that adapter..

Thanks a lot for the throughout demo.

I made it on my channel.

I had to do this for 35 tapes recently. Three different adapters did not work. I tried it your way and it didn’t work by leaving the full original spool on. I took the full spool on the left side, and tapes it to the right spool. Then I spun it by hand onto the right side. Then, I had to pull the full tape off of the left side, and spliced it. Then I had to rewind it. It was crazy and took 15 minutes per tape. I had to charge hundreds of dollars extra just to do this. The customer was thrilled though. The memories were priceless. I have 29 more I need to do so I am going to try your method again. It would save a lot of time.

How did people do it back in the day?

So simple but most would never think of doing this. Well done !

Actually, you can replace the tape without cutting it. There is a little plug on the ring which is holding the tape at the end, and you can just unplug it and insert new tape.

There is a clamp on the reels and it is not necessary to cut the tape.

Don't put them anywhere near speakers or hard drives or motors or phone speakers. Magnetic media only exists in your credit card and just barely now days. Companies stopped considering magnetic shielding years ago. Magnetic things are all around hiding...

nice one man, for the record JVC tapes don't play on the newer adapters, this is one way of fixing it.

those old 2nd hand adapters can ruin your tapes if not tested first! - well done

I was able to transplant a 20 year old VHS-c tape into a full-size VHS shell and it was able to play perfectly! Loved this video, thank you!
