So you want someone to have already conveniently collated your unique esoteric collection of old movies for you ? You do understand how unrealistic that is right ? Most movies that were “relatively popular in the 90s” are still available to download via torrent. Alternatively pretty much everything that made even a few pennies for the studios was re-released on DVD & then bluray and can therefore be found in second hand stores and ebay inexpensively. So, the actual solution to your problem is Step 1 write up a list of your VHS movies, if you do it in an app (text editor/excel whatever) you can then copy paste for the next step. Step 2 use a torrent index/search page such as ext.to to find each movie. Download them. If you’re in a country with aggressive laws use a vpn Step 3 any that aren’t available (no seeds) check your local charity shops and ebay or equivalent in your country (LeBonCoin forexample)for DVDs, you may have to get an optical drive to attach to your PC. Step 4 optional, I would suggest ripping to file any DVDs you buy so you have a permanent copy.

    Step 4 optional, I would suggest ripping to file any DVDs you buy so you have a permanent copy. This should be step 1 IMHO. You can either get a vhs to dvd unit or they have some much cheaper vhs to digital that you then capture the stream from OBS.

  • I wouldn’t even say theyre that specific. Its just random 90s movies, nothing crazy rare. But yeah youre right I need to make a list. Ripping them takes way too long and I don’t like them enough to re buy the DVD just to rip it to my nas anyway. Thank you for the comment !
