Husker Replays (Youtube)


Recommended Posts



 

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.

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?

The more games the better! I can't get enough! I like to revisit certain plays from really odd locations in certain parts of games.

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

This is what I have:

http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Camcorders-supporting-composite-connection/dp/B000VM60I8

 

That connects directly from the vcr to the usb port in my laptop, then I just hit play on the vcr and press the record button on the device. That comes with a cd that installs the video software.

 

Like I said, it takes awhile and uses up plenty of hard drive space. If I had a better laptop it would move much faster but with that device there, the transferring process is pretty basic.
