Sadly, as some one who wasted days copying VHS to AVI I have to concede this is correct.
All copied and never watched.
Just chuck em and forget em.
There are things in there that I know I want to keep, maybe 1% of the total but unlabelled.
However, I have done the maths based on a test recording, that I can get something stupid like 20 days of solid recording, noise and all, to 1TB. I have a 4TB external drive. So I might as well just press record and cycle through as many as I can over the course of 3-4 months, even if I don't worry about dealing with the recording any time soon...
