Susan, Even if your vcr lasted an eternity, the tapes deteriorate after so many years. I've blown the dust off a few tapes and played them after about 8 or so years and really noticed a big resolution loss. A good idea would be to copy them after so many years onto newer tapes or, better yet, a new hard drive vcr. Which raises a question for me... how much data do these new vcrs hold? That's probably the next marketing war!
