Headed out in search of discs today. I thought i might find the Rhino Records Quad bundle, but the latest Pineapple Thief release was as close as i got:

I did get excited when i saw the name of this store:

We got that FireWire DV going!
The quality of the video from these old camcorders are a LOT more consistent than I expected, and you can actually make out enough stuff from the 480p source. I hate transcoding things so I'm seriously sacrificing 30mbps for 480p video for dozens of tape. Good thing I have enough HDD storage.
Tape is a stable medium, so why the backup? These tapes were NOT kept in the best of environments...:whistle:


On the bright side, now that I know that these camcorders work, I'm ditching 4k60 and shooting a music video on DV! Please don't shoot me.
 
Here's a sign that makes me think of @Sonik Wiz . . . every time We pass an exit in Japan!

Hahaha etc. I visualize that @Quad Linda garage is so packed with spare 'tronics she parks on the street. But meanwhile in Tokyo the Linda Garage seems like a nice place to enjoy some sake:

And boxes that contain audio equipment are 'forever boxes.' :)

It's called 'thinking outside the box, SW' I once discarded a box my Meridian 861 pre/pro came in and when I went to return it.....I had to pay [get this] $150 for a new one [with ALL the requisite packing materials] when the pre/pro required repair.

Lesson learned!

Hey, when a processor costs $12,000, what's another $150 for a cardboard box? :whistle:
