Maxell STD-T-120 4 Pack VHS Tapes

Great tapes. I still use VHS, DVDs are NO GOOD. The device don't last long, bought 3. They stop playing and recording. A fake on the market to get rid of VHS, which is the best ever created. Records 3-2 hr. movies, can record up to 7 hrs on a 6 hr. tape. Just love, Never even thought to give it up for DVD, I bought a COMBO, and used both. DVD died long time ago, I used the VHS and buy the tapes to keep me going. A Happy recorder. The industry tricks us into giving up our good stuff for cheap stuff to make more money. They new that the DVDs were no good and you would have to keep buying them over and over...their profit on you buying them over and over. I stopped. You ought to pull out that old recorder you had that is still good and buy some tapes and start using it again.

Currently I'm moving some family memories from older VHS tapes to DVD-Ram and ripping them to a digital format on my PC. Since these are important memories, I want to have as many backups as possible so rerecording them back onto 'fresh' VHS tapes is something important to me. Comparing these tapes to local price, the price here on Amazon is very competitive. After recording older footage onto these VHS tapes, I'm quite satisfied with the quality of these tapes on the SP record setting. Not much has changed in the VHS tape since it has become such a dinosaur, but it's great to be able to get this product when you need it, for a reasonable price.

idk why they quit selling blank tapes at stores like Walgreens,Walmart and Target..now you have to buy online and they cost 3 times or so more than they use to,when you could buy at stores !!! GUESS I AM GLAD THEY STILL SELL THEM AT ALL,Since everything is on DVR DVD or Stream from Computer,but i still LOVE recording,i am old school.,and i HATE DVR !!!! They don't hold much and you can not keep recording things on DVR 4EVER and i like KEEPING TV SHOWS,So when they stop showing my favorite tv shows on tv,i still have them to watch and enjoy,i got sooo many good old tv shows,they never ever show anymore at all on tv and i am so glad i recorded them,shows people forgot or never heard of,that i think are way waaay better than most trv shows on now days and much funnier !!!! Great Memories of the good ol' 70's !!!!and i don't mean crappy shows like Mash,i dream of jeannie,bewitched,brady bunch and threes company..you can still see those wore out boring shows anytime on tv still,i am talking about good old comedies they dont show much,like Hardcastle and MCCORMICK,Jimmy Stewart show,Doris Day show,CPO Sharkey,Johnny Bago,Charlie Hoover,Ghost and Mrs Muir Danger Team..and many many more !!!! My list goes on 4ever of good old tv shows,i miss seeing,that they NEVER show on tv anymore ,not even the classic channels like Cozi Antenna tv and MeTV and other channels

Unlike the other reviewer for this item, I have never had a problem with these tapes recording in the several different VCRs that I use. I have also recorded shows for friends and they have never said that their machines didn't like them either, so I have to assume that they played fine for them, as well. I do see that Amazon is now selling an 8-pack for not that much more than this 4-pack and that's much less per tape, so I would buy those in future. Of course, the quality cannot compare with DVDs but not everything is important enough for a DVD. In other words, I might want to record a movie or something like Masterpiece Classic just to watch a second time and then, if I really like it, I can buy the DVD. These tapes also seem to work well for everyday re-recording. I have one at my office that has had perhaps a dozen passes or more and the quality of the video and audio is still good.

What is there to not like? I keep old VHS tapes to use in my more vintage recorder. Some of my tapes were so worn they started to drag and could have destructed inside the player. I like these because they also only had one outside plastic wrapping and I don't have to fight with individual wrappings for each tape. Six hours using SLP (speed) is perfect for my use. Never had any trouble with Maxell.

The tapes are very good quality, they run smoothly, don't get jammed or stuck, I'm quite happy to be able to get Maxell vhs tapes in this day and age, these are just like the ones I used way back in the day.

These tapes were defective. Zero Stars. When I tried to record, the playback was very grainy with lines through the picture. I've ordered several brands of VHS tapes in the past, with no problem. I don't know what was wrong with these. Amazon customer service was very helpful, and was able to resolve this problem for me. Thank You Amazon!!

The price for these tapes are the best around. Sometimes I research other companies and Amazon is the best. Now that stores do not carry them any more it is reassuring that you can still get them at a reasonable price. I collect musicals and I like to have a library of them. In buying these tapes I can continue and enlarging my collection. The tapes do last a long time and the picture is so clear. Buy them now if you want to start a collection of your own.
