VHS to DVD Log
March 2021 | Part 01 | Part 02
I wasn't really doing a lot of VCR to VCR recording before 2001 or so. I think I did either very little before 2000 or none at all outside of recording myself play Mario Paint on the Super Nintendo and maybe a few other things.
Long story short, over the years, I've been recording, editing, transferring, copying, VHS video tapes via VCR machines, DVD discs, audio tapes, CDs, etc, to DVD, hard drives, the Internet. This includes VHS videos copied back as early as the 1980s.
Here are notes on what I was doing in March of 2021. In future posts, I will try to include logs of my progress these past 21 years or so, chronologically, the timeline. The goal is in archiving some of the videos, the audio, etc, relating to The Arnold Attic Films, the Arnold Island, the 44 Tapes, things relating to the family and friends of Oatmeal Joey Arnold over the years.
I'm trying my best to keep a record of it all to help better organize what is what later on down the road. It's been a been mess for a very long time, I'm trying my best to get to the bottom of it all.

VHS 98 - 2001 Billboards Awards, Arnold Attic Teaser Trailers
2021-03-28 - Sunday - 12:06:10 AM - DVD 28, 29. Already copied to DVD 28 which broke. So, here I copied to DVD 29.
I started recording VHS 98 to DVD 29 at 12:06:10 AM. See last post for contents of VHS 98, it's the 2001 Billboards Awards for the first hour or longer. Like I said already, I copied VHS 98 to DVD 28 yesterday as seen in the last entry or post. But DVD 28 broke. So, this is DVD 29. Now, it is over 90 minutes of just the 2001 Billboards Awards on this DVD 29 here. But it includes the commercial and everything from the very beginning of this VHS video tape cassette.
VHS 98 - Arnold Attic Teaser Trailers
2021-03-28 - Sunday - 12:38 PM - DVD 30
I continue to copy VHS 28 to a third DVD. First DVD broke, that was DVD 28. That was Saturday. Today is Sunday, the next day in other words. I copied the first two hours of VHS 98 to DVD 29. I continue copying VHS 98 but now to DVD 30, the last part of the 2001 Billboards Awards and then onto the Arnold Attic Teaser Trailers. Very beginning is a commercial for the Bernie Mac show followed with The Tick, a live-action show which I don't really remember. I probably never knew about it. After that, back to the award show where Bernie Mac kicks it to some dude who announces the winner of the Artist of the Year Award. This is probably the last thing of the show. Dominees include Jennifer Lopez, Destiny's Child, etc. I forget who wins. You can Google it. Maybe I already wrote it down. Oh, it's Destiny's Child, this was before the rise of Beyonce. At the end, many artists stand up to sing about Africans dying in Africa, starving to death and stuff. This was a little taste of social justice warriors, NPCs, all those things. It is all about tricking people into donating money to bad people, organizations, groups, churches, governments, societies, etc, and that includes for example The Red Cross, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Bill & Hillary Clinton foundation, Obama has a foundation, Bush has a foundation, I am not sure if Trump has foundations or not but some groups wastes money and some do much worse than that. Hollywood has been like puppets of the tyrants for a century or longer. I saw a date of the 26th of December of 2001 but this was on TV on the 4th. So, the date is probably in regards to an upcoming event is my guess. I recorded this I think and watched some of it I recall. I see football, the NFL, it is a commercial. A football dinosaur mascot, Jack in the Box ad. Verizon cell phone commercial. Some singers singing, maybe a music video. Train tracks. Black people. Looks like hip hop. Power Rangers Time Force ending credits. TBN's Culby's Clubhouse on Saturday mornings, bad quality, they're dancing and singing as usual in the clubhouse, possibly not the smaller clubhouse but a newer one maybe, looks bigger. Oldest girl in blue. Pocahontas girl in yellow. Oldest black girl in purple stripes. A younger girl in pink and also ponytails. Bit of a duet between a boy and a girl in the back. Then a new dance routine at some tent or big building, ballroom like dancing almost, semi-cowboys and cowgirls like clothes and dresses. Couples coming together dancing together. Cartoon, better quality. Strange people, animals, etc. Penguins. Back to live action children playing, dancing, marching, by the water, saluting, might be The Kid's Club or similar to that show, and I spoke too soon. The introduction theme song of The Kid's Club. Jan Crouch had a puppet girl she would play. I see a silly toy ape. Christmas hats. Gina Thompson.
2001-12-10 - Monday - Rap's Lil Bow Wow Goes to the Movies, NBA Inside Stuff. After 2 or so minutes, it cuts to NBA Inside Stuff on KGW channel 8, the local host for NBC, the show was usually on Saturdays at 10:30 AM PST.or I mean 10 AM actually. This episode aired on TV my guess would be Saturday, the 15th of December of 2001. The host has a beard, wearing a Raptors jersey. Elton Brand interview with Summers who was a big time female professional swimmer. Top five plays of the week. NBA TV was a thing then. Jazz over Clippers. Lil Bow Wow sings. It looks like him. I can't think of anybody else it would be. Allen Iverson. Yes, confirmed, it is Lil Bow Wow. I see some kind of weird hard to see subtitle. I assume it is like a subtitle. Could be a mistake or accidental. Could be due to this video tape being 20 years old. And yet it could be subliminal. I will need to stop it, pause it, try to read it. Gatorade. AT&T. Yu-Gi-Oh! theme song. Oh, this was on at 10:30 AM and perhaps NBA Inside Stuff was on at 10 AM, perhaps that was the schedule.
2001-12-15 - Saturday - This date is a guess based on when that episode of NBA Inside Stuff probably aired on TV. After the show, it goes to home videos as mentioned earlier. TV in my room. Front yard tree. Philips Magnavox TV in my room, it has a VCR in it as well, a combo. Green Solutions. Game Boy Advance and or color or something. Wet outside a little. I film around the house. Backyard apple tree, basketball hoop on the side. Pen. Hand. Fast flash. But it cuts to the 2002 NBA All-Stars game, looks like highlights and/or I mean the 2002 NBA Playoffs meaning this may be in April of 2002 or after that when this was put together, I mean the home videos. Then it cuts back to NFL football on NBC which was already recorded on the tape, San Francisco 49ers vs the Green Bay Packers. 42 minutes recorded of VHS 98 to this DVD 30, the first part of VHS is on DVD 29 and DVD 28 broke. The rest of VHS 98 is football and is not being recorded to DVD as of right now. Monday night football. KOIN channel 6 news. Random black people singing on stage, interviews, their lives. Clinton. Bob Dole.
VHS 98c is just football, no date
VHS 81 - Joey Puppet Show in 2000
2021-03-28 - Sunday - 09:28 PM - DVD30b
I copied VHS 81 to DVD 28 already but DVD 28 broke. For more info on the contents of VHS 81, see notes from 2021-03-24 - Wednesday - 11:25 PM and/or see the VHS 81 post. It starts off with Sammy the Seal, an old live-action like Disney movie from like the early 1960s is my guess. They play checkers on the beach with the seal. Black and white movie thing. Quality down then back up. 700 club like 30 minutes in or so. Then bad quality. Then NBA Inside Stuff, Brain Grant. Coach Mike Calhoun. Jermaine O'Neal.
I started recording the home videos I made in 2000 of stuffed animals and random toys, etc. Girl doll, yellow hair. Turtle. Ninja turtle. Couch under counter at our house, space number 163. Pizza. Ricky doll head. Dog doll. Mermaid Ariel. My face from behind. Zeo red ranger. Puppet show, red ranger and TMNT stuff animal dialog. Dancing. Me a little. Then it cuts NBA Playoffs 2000 which started around April of 2000. And then back to red ranger. Ricky Raccoon stuffed animal. Blond girl doll. Puppet show continues on and on. Red ranger with the head of Rick Arnold. Blazer vs Vancouver, recap on KPTV. Golf, Tiger Woods. Back to my puppet show, red ranger, green ranger, dancing. Ricky & mom are in this video a little here and there. Back to basketball, Spurs at the Lakers.
Very bad quality when copying VHS 81 to DVD 30, please try to save DVD 28 if possible to get a better version of this.

Bro, were both about the same age. Im from 1985. Thats cool youre documenting VHS. I got some old stuff laying around too.
Cool and it really depends on picking your battles, in regard to priorities, as life is short, in choosing which stories to tell, which projects to tackle first kind of thing and I try my best to do what I can in life.
The VHS documenting project is one of those lifelong projects of mine which I always tend to come back to every year or at random times for the past 21 years or so. One of the problems I've faced was putting too much on my plate, like I always want to do everything.
So, I've probably made too many promises to myself throughout life regarding all the things I would do. One of my goals with these videos isn't necessarily in doing what George Lucas did with Star Wars in coming out with a special editions kind of thing.
I love using the Star Wars analogy. My goal at the moment is to do my best just the bare minimum as in rough draft outlines of some of my stuff from my life.
And I may come back and try to make Special Editions of some of my stuff later on in life. But at the same time, this is a starting point, a good foundation, a backup of my stuff.
So, that is what I try to do sometimes, to just kind of label what I got, try to make lists of the stuff I have, include dates, titles, a few things, and then move on kind of thing.
I've been a perfectionist like George Lucas is with Star Wars, I always want to edit a video again and again or edit a post or some of the art I do or so on and so forth.
One of the problems I face is never ever like finishing things because I always want things to be perfect. So, in seeking to balance myself out, I have this other side of me that wants to just publish and release unfinished work. So, I'm always wrestling between the two extremes.
For example, I'm struggling just to stop writing this comment. But, I try my best to discipline myself to learn how to do something and then move on kind of thing, kind of important and kind of funny too at the same time.
My advice to you is to keep it simple, don't make too many promises to yourself, take it a day at a time, keep a simple blog that could be online or at least offline and simply take a few random notes regarding stuff you do and want to do. And if you do want to do something with your old stuff, then give it a try.
But it is important to keep a log, to write it down, because you can forget what you did later on, and simply one thing at a time, one day at a time, Rome wasn't built in a day and Oatmeal wasn't eaten in a second. I'm Oatmeal. You are what you eat.
