Review
When I write that I review a video VHS cassette tape, DVDs, etc, review means I looked at it but you can assume I didn't copy the VHS to DVD. I am generally reviewing just VHS and recording that to DVD, you assume that generally speaking unless otherwise states, most of the time, that is what this log is for. This log is for tracking as I try to copy VHS to DVD and just that and not to track when I try to copy DVD to HDD, to the Internet or other things. I may however include when I try to copy audio tapes to DVD as well. But regardless, those are the two general rules, I copy video or just audio to DVD. It could be to copy TV or other things to DVD to but generally not so much.

Copy
When I say copy, I mean to record and I am generally recording onto DVD from other sources like video and audio tapes most of the time.

Ricky & Joey filmed this in 1996 or 1997. This is at the very beginning of the VHS tape.

After that, random things on TV which might have already been on here. So, after our video, it went back to the TV. Stuff relating to Halloween and maybe Christmas too. News. A thing about a monkey painting. Baywatch. CNN. The death of Princess Diana in 1997 in September or end of August. On the Bio channel was a bio on the life of Andy Griffith who did Matlock and the Andy Griffith show among other things.

Power Rangers 3

VHS

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace: The entire film as it aired on television, I think KPTV in Oregon at that time in 1999 or 2000 or whenever it first aired on TV. The entire film or the first hour or longer. I saw up to like the fight at the end and also the fight with Maul too. There was also behind the scenes with George Lucas and friends.

Other random things on television like Hal Lindsay for a second, and a focus on The Weakest Link, Star Trek Edition featuring the actors who played some of your favorite space captains, doctors, and even Q. Not Qanon or quantum computers or the CIA or whatever. The Q character. James Kirk. No Picard. Reading Rainbow man. The doctor from Voyager. Wesley Crusher. The black chick from Voyager. Seven of Nine I think. No Riker I don't think. A few others. Simpsons where they made towels after Homer.

1997-02-08 - Joey playing basketball for a second, mom and Crystal try to record it. Had to zoom out. Hard to zoom out. I wore white shorts, shirt tucked in, while others worse black shorts.

1997-03-07 - Power Rangers 3, I recorded the beginning parts of the film, I copied a lot from the first Rangers movie we made in 1996, this would be our second movie which came out before the second actual Rangers film came out. So, this movie was just me recording and acting. I recorded Puffer the cat as Loxxcatt talking to a bug as his sidekick who mentioned how Lot failed to take over the world in the last film. Loxxcatt plots to go to earth. We see a bowling pin over a shower curtain as the ship over space. Oh, I do have Crystal saying she was the pink or yellow ranger to copy a bit we did after filming our last Rangers film. I recorded myself a few times saying I was each of the male rangers. I then had the words written out, Power Rangers 3, and I filmed the poster over the TV which was playing the Lamb Chop Play-Along kids show theme song on PBS.

After that, it cuts to random things on TV and it cut to TV before a few times as well going back and forth between TV and camcorder footage a few times. Jerry Springer, small ugly people who are bald and old and look like kids. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I see Angel too and the one guy reminds me of Mike Cernovich. NBA. Quiz show with kids. The tape ends with the 1992 Olympics Dream Team playing basketball against other teams. Then the VHS tape ended and rewinded back to the beginning. I reviewed each second of this tape from start to finish, no skipping at all.

Super Boy. Family Ties

2021-03-21 - Sunday - 08:30 PM - VHS Log - VHS 64 - no DVD

1988 Super Boy recorded in 1988 via a VCR in Forest Grove, Oregon. It was on television and I either remember it at that time as it was on television when I was three or later on as we watched. Reading Rainbow dealing with bees.

Family Ties, the final episode, I either saw it live or saw a rerun. They all say goodbye. The father says when you swallow an apple seed, a apple tree grows inside you or something like that, I remember.

Family Ties appears to have been recorded over Reading Rainbow. So, then it went back to Reading Rainbow.

A kids show featuring puppet animals talking to astronauts. The flag. Stars. A bear. A frog.

I reviewed each second of this tape from start to finish, no skipping at all.

Blank at the end for a good portion of the tape.

The west attempt to dunk it each time while the east try to hit threes. I play both teams on my Nintendo 64, I did this sometimes for some games as a kid at times for hours and hours. This was either in 1998 or after that. Some of the players I made included names like Cool Kid Joey 85, Ricky Peanut Butter, Elder, etc. Also, Magic Johnson or M. Johnson. Some have no names.

Not copied to DVD.

VHS no-number - 1998 Mike First

2021-03-23 - Tuesday - 03:30 AM - VHS to DVD Log -DVD Mike 1
1998-05-09 - Saturday

Mike's First public performance at The Rock. 19T.

This VHS tape I'm recording to DVD today, the first VHS of the day to a brand new DVD in the 2 hour SP mode. I see Larry Mitchell singing. The VHS says Michael or Mike on it which I assume means Michael Mitchell, a son of Larry. Mike or a teenage boy is playing drums. A girl is on keyboard. A man is leading worship or whatever type of music it is. Larry is partly leading as well but to the side. I see one black guy with a built upper body. This could be at a school or a church. It could be in Shelton, WA. I don't know where it is right now. On the video, a subtitle reads 5/ 9/1998. That either means May 9th or September 5th. Since there is space between the five and the nine and no space between the nine slash and then the year, it could be that this is September. Four people on stage. Random white folks in the audience.

That black guy gets up, holds a microphone in one hand and a Bible in the other. He speaks. He rips up like the yellow pages and then a bat.

One hour long.

VHS 69 - Independence Day

2021-03-23 - Tuesday - 08:44 PM - no DVD

Will Smith and partner flies into space. This is right at the beginning of this VHS tape. This was on Fox, channel 13, late 90s or early 00s. They download a virus into the mothership, a nerd version of Star Trek: A New Hope. Instead of using athletic luck, we use math and science to blow up the Death Star and all the other ships as seen in Rise of Skywalker where all the other ships die too. Actually, the old crazy uncle character is like Luke Skywalker as he flies into a big ship. President played by Bill Saxton or something like that, a guy who was in the Newsies. Will's partner was in Jurassic Park. TBN show. A play. Bible stories in live action. Small skits. Man talks. Teaching most likely. Story of forgiveness. King forgive man but man does not forgive his servant and that makes king mad. Then another show of 3 people in a discussion. Like Bible study. They might be Hispanic or Indian from India. Oh, same show as before, Word in the World with Michael Manning. Cedillo. Corrie Ten Boom. Women of faith in history. 700 club for sec. The Lord's Kitchen with Pastor Hill. Reference to an upcoming March 2nd event. Behind the Scenes with Paul Crouch with an old lady. Jan Crouch sings for the helping the children ministry where she hands toys to children in hospitals.

Cheetah. Recorded off television in the late 1980s like 1988 or 1989 I think. Hippo. Recorded by probably mom who probably recorded all or almost all the 1980s VHS tapes outside of sports which would be by dad if there are any he made in the 1980s. Dad recorded basketball and football games in the 1990s and possibly only that decade during the course of his entire life is my educated guess. He liked the 49ers and recorded them. Back to this tape, the muppets. Piggy is on a throne. She hugs Kermit. On boat. Might be a movie or from a show from the late 1970s. Looks like the show, live action. It is in black and white due to bad quality, old tape, or something. Possibly recorded that way originally. Balloons. Shooter. Muppet flying high on balloons. Road trip muppets in car. Steve Martin gives them wine, Piggy and Kermit. Mad scientist tries to suck out Kermit's brain. Gonzo sings. Campfire. School bus. Live music. Giant Animal. Then a circus for a second. Then a market.
