Posting some old race video from years ago...(update: more videos added)

Dave,
Watching your classic video got me all excited about reviving/protecting/storing my old pictures and videos. I have been learning to use Pinnacle Studio 12 to merge all types of media on to my computer and save it on DVDs..and the hard drive. Those old Beta, VHS, and VHS-C tapes will be going bad some day. I bought their software and a little gadget that will take input from almost any source, cameras, VCR...ect.


Very nice videos! I like seeing scenes from tracks where I have not raced.

I still have the body/chassis. It's an old Super Gas style box frame that won't pass sonic these days.

All I'm doing is importing from a VCR to a DVD recorder, a lot simpler than importing VCR to a PC.

But I may eventually have to try something like the Pinnacle setup because I'm having problems with 2 of the old VHS tapes. For some reason the DVD recorder will stop the recording after only a few minutes on these 2 tapes saying their content is copyright protected. Which of course is bull siht since the video isn't "store bought".

Dave has anyone broke out the tabs on it where you can not record over the tape if they have pull some tape over them and try it.

I had already tried both putting tape on/leaving tape off the knock-out tabs, neither helped.

Also tried 2 different VCR's. One was a newer VCR, and the other was a very old one. Again neither helped, still had the problem.

I did notice that the auto-tracking feature on both VCR's does have a little trouble keeping up on these 2 tapes. So that has me thinking maybe the 2 problem tapes might just be so old & stretched that maybe that causes them to read as copyright protected (for some damn reason).

some day I'll get around to putting all my old VHS on DVD , hell years ago I got some of my early '70's racing moved from Super 8 to VHS !!! My one son was suppose to do it last summer in his spare time went he came home from college ,but I guess I worked him to hard on the farm as it never got done ! Hell I was running low 10's in '74 in the 1/4 with a 427 side oiler!!
