#tape media

There was a home video tape format called Video 2000 (V2000), that was released in late-1970s and discontinued in late-1980s. It was mostly owned by Philips. These kinds of tapes can literally record video content on both sides in the similar way as audio cassettes.

The format itself, had minor success in Europe, just like what Sony's Betamax (Beta) had its same level of success in the US. However, both of them lost to VHS. But, Video 2000 is obscure and unpopular in North America.

Buy physical media. Buy CDs. Buy records. Buy tapes. Buy books. Buy physical artwork or prints. Take photos of yourself and get them developed at a photo processing booth. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Why? Because as this world get more digital, what's physical will slowly but surely disappear. There will be less things you can touch and feel, and more things that you can see and not touch. You can post all the digital pics you want on social media...nothing is assured and those pics and those platforms could be gone in an instant. An album on streaming platforms will never be the same as the original album in your hand with the liner notes, as versions of that album can get removed, and/or replaced with re-recorded material (since the artist doesn't own their masters). Books go out of print. And staring at a jpeg (no matter how much you paid for it *cough cough* NFTs) of an artwork will never be the same as owning the actual artwork or a print of it.

Preserve these things. If not for yourself, then for future generations.

Mold on 8mm tapes is so FRUSTRATING to clean because these kinds of tapes use very thin magnetic tapes that can get glued by mold growth. This can take several hours to remove mold from 8mm tapes!

I don't even want DVD special features back – I want VHS space-fillers back. I grew up in the era when distributors would just stick random shit at the end of a VHS tape to use up any space left over once the actual film was recorded, and sure, a lot of the time it was previews for other movies, but sometimes it was The Weird Stuff.

batman: so by splitting the work between former League members, Young Justice team, and current League members we were able to take down a good portion of the meta child trafficking ring and bring one of the leaders of the operation to justice.

wonder woman: but you lied in order to do that. do you feel bad that you had to lie. to do that.

batman (a vigilante): ,,? not. not really.
