I have a VCR still, not that its connected up to anything.  Only reason i kept it is for my BTCC vids.  I have 1988 throught to 2000 on video.  I may get round to ripping them to a dvd one day.  Seems like effort though ;)

We've still got one connected up.  The hard disc recorder will only record one channel at a time, so if there's two things on I want to record, I use the VCR. Anyway, I've still got about 40 tapes the wife wanted converted, which I haven't got round to doing yet - absolute pain - has to be done in real-time, and don't have any proper way of timing it, so I can't let it run overnight.  Well, I can actually, but then I've got to edit the recording.  Pain. :(

A couple of VHS, a Video8 and a MiniDV.

As for 'ripping'.  It's more like 'peeling'.

Binned my Video when it broke. I still have some films in a draw in my bedroom. If anyone wants them they can have them :)

I can have a look & list what i have if there's an interest. I don't have many though.

Yep, still use a VCR day to day to record from terrestrial, and from Freeview when I have to...

Yeah I've got a VHS for occasional use. Thing is older laptops are very cheap, so I got an Acer Athlon 64 laptop which I have dedicated to digitising videos, and fitted with a PCMCIA capture card.

I just revamped my recording machine with a new motherboard, masses of ram, a AMD 64X2 processor and 3 Nebula DVB-T cards so I can  record up to 3 complete multiplexes at once. Trouble is finding anything worthwhile recording  :P

Nearly forgot, the problems with being able to record several programs at once is you never get time to watch them all. I have got several 500GB drives full of films still to be watched. :P
