I have a Sony DVD cam that I bought less than 5 yras ago. Quite a few of the DVD's are now unplayable. I did some research on Google and found that while the DVD's music/movies etc can last for decades since they are cold pressed, the ones you burn on your computer or DVD videocamera only last a few year. The best option right now is solid state memory, get a videocam that records to SD cards...or record short clips and upload to youtube.

This is my biggest fear. How do I know for sure that my archive would last? I have them on the hard drives as weill as external hard drives as well as on flash drives and even on CD/DVDs but those can all fail at some time or the other.
My father and mother would never left me out of their sight.quote:Originally posted by ksazma:quote:Originally posted by cain:

I can't find my drawings from when I was a kid. I learned to draw from an Amerindian kid who used to stay at my grand parents' house when his father was looking for work in town. Wonder if that kid was D2.![]()
I threw away about 500 cassettes. I boxed twice that number of CDs and DVDs for my friend to take away. I am shedding stuff I will never have the time to look or listen to.quote:Originally posted by cain:
I jus picked up a 1994 Olds Cutlass..with cassette player,hehehe. I now listen to stuff I hadn't heard in years while driving.
That long ago I was finishing A levels in England, my father was already dead for six years and my mother was there with me.quote:Originally posted by ksazma:quote:Originally posted by cain:

Don't think it was D2 though because both parents were Amerindians. Father was Peter and mother was Elsa. Four kids although I can only remember three names; Steven, Vanessa and Narine. We talking about 35 years ago.

It is best to keep multiple backups. My best bet is flash drives or SD cards as there are no moving parts but even these can fail.

yuh lucky yuh didn't end up with an 8 track player.
Now what I really need is a single unit that records to cd from cassettss. Doing it from the computer give me poor outcomes.

Yeah I've tried that but it's not good.
I heard the units go around $200. The problem with cassettes,you have to play the whole darn thing to copy it unlike copying a cd where it takes about a minute.
There are cheap high quality digital recorders with input jacks and USB ports. I use them record and to lay down loops before I bought a DR-680 ( tascam) I paid 80 for one and I it used SD cardsquote:Originally posted by cain:quote:Originally posted by ksazma:quote:Originally posted by cain:

8 track, me rememba those...somewhere around the house is a Winston Churchill recording on a 78 record.
Vinyl records were 78s/45s and 33s right ?
That is not for transferring tapes. It is a professional quality multi track recorder musicians use. I was just referring to the abundance of digital recorders out there. I am sure there is a high speed dedicated data transfer system but I do not know what exists. I never had to transfer cassettes.quote:Originally posted by ksazma:quote:Originally posted by Tola:

I have some of those 78s also. If you think of any please pass it one. Meanwhile I will read up on D2's DR680
