Husker Replays (Youtube)

I've had every game since the 2012 season at one point or another, but never had the hdd space to keep them. Now that I'm practically swimming in hard drives from work I'll start storing them for rainy days and maybe for sharing as well.

 
I have a vhs collection of about 50-60 tapes or so, about 106 games. Each tape has 2-3 games on it, (some games are duplicated on other tapes)all ranging in games from the late 70's, 80's, all the games from the 90's and some of the early 2000's. I have the hardware and software to transfer them from vhs to hard drive, convert them to dvd format and burn them to dvd. It's a lengthy process but I've evetually wanted to get every game off the vhs before the tapes degrade too badly. I have a 1 terabyte Seagate Barracuda hard drive that has almost all of it's space remaining. What I don't have is a high powered laptop that makes all of these processes faster......including the firewire for faster file transfers and a high speed disc burner. I have a damn Dell Latitude D620.....yes, sad I know.

I consider these tapes a personal treasure of mine really. I found them at a garage sale in a little town. The old man who made them I believe may have passed on. The craziest part about the tapes, what only proved the diligence of this guys Husker fandom, was that almost every tape, the game was paused during commercial and immediately resumed once play began. Yes.....I'm not kidding. This man must have sat with that remote in his hand all game long. He even cut out a lot of the commentary, so it's really all back to back action. He did a freaking brilliant job. There's even a few other Husker specials on there and some old episodes of Big Red Wrap up.

What an amazing treasure. I have some vhs tapes in the same situation but not that many and not edited like that. What is the hardware/software needed to convert them to dvd?

I think I'm want to create a separate forum for all games and Husker videos. Thoughts?

That's a good idea. I've got copies of most the games from 2008-2014, so I could figure out how to upload them (legally) if there's requests.

What if I sent you some blank DVD's? You be willing to make copies? PM me with details if thats something you'd have time to do.

Heh, it's like 250GB of just data, since they're all 720P. I'll see what I can do about uploading them.
