lol wtf are they talking about? If you're copying a tape, the "magnetic head fluctuations" would be in the VCR that is recording, not the VCR that is playing the tape into another machine. Unless these chemicals are so reactive that they light the tape on fire if they are in the same room as a recording VCR.

That reminds me of the time a kid I went to highschool with (so around 1995-1999) told me he got his hands on a computer virus that would spin the hard drive so fast it would melt or catch on fire. I can't remember which. I told him "Awesome! I've got an old hard drive I could destroy, let me check it out!" But apparently it was "too powerful" to spread around. Edit: I should probably mention that I knew it was BS at the time, it was just an easy way to call out his lying without outright doing so. Desert Bus has a new favorite as of 05:56 on Apr 24, 2022 |

I'm pretty sure "magnetic head fluctuations" is just a fancy way to describe Macrovision copy protection.

It's not like a VCR tape is a cop, who can just waltz into your house and break anything they want because they have a warrant. Yeah but the Macrovision type copy protections sure makes your recorded tape look like it got a virus — if you are Bob Normalguy and think jumpy, flickering, blurred and noisy images is what getting a virus looks like (which you would since movies and TV pictures it so)

I think the funniest thing is that it was something that nobody in their right mind would try to copy, like public domain cartoons or footage of kittens or something.

Arsenic Lupin posted:This one I did not remember. https://twitter.com/rob_sheridan/status/1517292148651028480 I slightly remember this one as a reason we didn't dare copy videos from the rental shop, like the machines would burn out/explode. Silly to believe that looking back but I was young, my parents were not. We did copy Robin Hood Prince of Thieves so I guess the actual anti piracy measures on a VHS tape were not always there. You can bypass that just by recording onto a computer these days but how was it done in the 80/90's? Just a specific VCR that ignored the anti piracy signal?

Makes sense. We probably actually had that feature missing in one of our VCRs - It was a heafty top loading quirky VCR from at least 1981 which I think predates that copy protection. Speaking of that VCR, my dad used it for recording family videos on our holidays from 81-88 - he would carry the entire VCR unit in one hand while having a camera on his shoulder. lot of weight. An overcomplicated setup but probably a cost saver given the year. Would blow his mind what a smartphone can do now especially in quality, weight and storage. I'll have to find a photo of the setup sometime when I head home.
