    I watch my old vhs tapes from the 1980s. DVD players tend to screw up after a short time, expecially DVD recorders.

    :lol::lol: Sometimes go to the fights aswell though :D - just the local one's in my nearest city - friend of a friend is having his 8th pro fight next month - saw him in his last fight (which he lost on a paperthin decision) - didn't get any blood on my shirt that night either :huh although thought I was going to have a nose bleed myself in the last couple of rounds!!

    VHS Tapes lose quality the more you watch them...I'd seriously urge you all to back that **** up on DVD.

    Purely on the computer..... i like being able to sift through what i want to watch as well, right there, double click and bam.

    Only if i had some good good HD fights would i ever really consider watching them on the tv.

    But on the other side of the coin.... at least your VHS can take a tiny little scratch without freezing halfway thru a fkn fight (that really pisses me the **** off)

    I converted my VHS collection to DVD a couple years ago. It took 3 months. But DVD can be less reliable than VHS, so now I'm backing them up to a hard drive..........I rarely watch them on the TV anymore because the resolution on the laptop is so much better.

    I generally watch most dvd's on my computer. I record and watch when I edit commercials. Older fights too.
