That would have been your VCR bought from the same pound shop as your Hi-Fi.

Easy to tell a decent VCR. Has a detachable mains lead. ;-)

I meant audio cassettes.

The humidity here is about 70-90%.

That's sometimes needed in Scotland.

Just tap the nearest pole.

Sometimes they were VCD files to be re-burned to disk, sometimes converted to a big AVI file. Whichever they were, you could play them on a computer without burning, or burn for convenience of taking them elsewhere or playing them on a domestic TV.

Pre-DVD there wasn't that copy-protection s*it to remove first. When DVDs came out, you could rip a genuine DVD once with a computer, and make a non-copyrighted disk. That could then be duplicated on mass with one of those x10 DVD writer machines.

if you're that lost, no I don't.

It's you that's lost, the other three understand perfectly.

Are you really incapable of reading and understanding what you wrote? While others obviously can?

Feel free to re-phrase it so it is clear to all.
