I couldn't sleep. I guess not surprising when I'm downing caffeine at midnight.
I gathered up all the 8mm tapes into the train case and they just fit. Whew! I sorted the VHS tapes and saw that three were missing. This wouldn't be a problem except that I remembered that Ken's first video camera recorded directly to VHS so I have to go through some of the videos after all.
Meanwhile I got bitten by no less than three fleas while perusing the video shelves. Ugh.
I got online and ordered a new copy of Adobe Premiere 2.0 to transfer video to DVD but I think I still need some sort of attachment.
I was going to put the videos on Pennysaver to save trouble but it won't work as I can't list all the titles, put up more than one free ad at a time and I can't reference a list on a website either. Ugh. So I looked again at ebay and that really looks like my best option. I really hate to give away potentially 160 dollars. That can pay for quite a few videos.
I have decided to just toss all the videos that held old movies. I figure that Ken would not have recorded home movies over old movie videos, he would have used a new one, so that means I don't have to check them all. Anything he recorded from TV on them is unimportant. Only home videos are critical right now.
So next up, get the software, show Kenny how to use it and get him started. Then look through the remaining unlabeled tapes and toss any movie tapes today. Finally, list the videos for sale on ebay and let her rip and see what sells. Next weekend I'll be busy packing them up.
Next up: comic books.
