Any demand for video's?
« on: October 28, 2010, 11:56:09 AM »
At FIG we have a large selection of original video's including films, tv programmes and children's films.  If anyone still has the means to play these and wants to take them off our hands for a small donation then please go to our shop or contact me, otherwise regrettably they will have to be recycled, unless anyone has a better solution.

It may be an option to get someone to convert them to DVD if you think the titles might be popular. It can be done locally and cheaply and you can of course then sell multiple copies. Just an option to consider for you  :)

I do them myself (and would gladly do yours if I were there) but some of the Gunlukbasi camera shops used to offer the service - I can only assume they still do as I don't know these days. Worth parking up in Gunlukbasi high street and taking a stroll, unless anyone knows specifically?

We had quite a few done in Fethiye, the shop was locate the rear of Post Office road, walking away from Fethiye and located on the right hand side.

we were talking about this at the weekend as we watched family videos from way back when. We decided to get the adaptor that goes from your video to your computer (approx £35 online). You play the video and it rips it onto your PC and then you can copy it to a DVD disc. (I am certain there is something way more techincal missing to this set of instructions but I have a computer man for all that milarky) I think Scunner has come up with a cracking idea you will need some time to do it but it may enable you to sell the DVD in a format more used these days. good luck

It's not just the more useable format that I think makes it a good way to raise some funds - it's the possibility that there might be some nuggets amongst the tapes that could appeal to quite a few people. Sure you can get every blockbuster movie from the DVD men before they've even been released, but there is little for those of us who would be just as happy/happier to sit down with 6 wobbly old VHS episodes of Blackadder or On the Buses  :)

We have the whole boxed set of Caligula (never even viewed) and were only talking about this same thing tonight.  It is certainly worth doing and we may ask Hassan (Calis dvd man) if he knows who can do it.
