I'm sorely tempted.


Alright, here it is.

There's this video at the library that I love with my whole soul.  It's about food storage and stuff and I can't find it anywhere.  I've looked EVERYWHERE, trust me.  I'm a research junkie and I cannot find it.

I must have this video.  HAVE IT.  I'm willing to pay the library for it.  Or I must copy it to DVD or something.  Which is the better option?

Libraries, particularly public ones, are always looking for money.

Offer them a generous bribe, uh, payment, and then see if the video of your dreams can spend its nights with you.

if it's the church library, have them do a bit of research to see if the video is still available or if there are copyright restrictions on making a PERSONAL copy for a member.

hope that helps.

we used to rent a vcr, hook it up to ours, and record things that were for personal use, such as what you are talking about.

recording stuff that way WITHOUT copyright permission from the copyright holder is theft. Far better to GET PERMISSION and pay the fees associated.

i know you have looked and searched, but maybe if more eyes apply themselves to it, we can help from the forum.

plus some used book places also have old videos too!

Good advice from Alabamabelle, get the title and try amazon, and ebay. Then just google the title.

yeah, you can just about find any title on Amazon, even if it is still not in print. You may have to settle for a used copy, but often times you can get new copies on DVD that were originally reel to reel movies!

e-Bay you can sometimes find things like that too. Problem with e-Bay is you have to be careful you aren't buying from a front for illegal pirated copies made domestically or in China.

Amazon? Google? eBay? What- you think I'm some kind of amateur? I'm hurt. tears.gif

Of course it's not on any of those. Sheesh. I say I try to buy the blasted thing, I mean I TRY. I'm the Little Engine that Could. Except I can't.

Okay, here's the info- The Art of Being Prepared. It's VHS and the guy on it is Al Cooper. It's by DaVinci Films or Livingood Video.

Go for it, people! Whoever finds me one gets some of my fantabulous blue-ribbon brownies whose recipe I'm honing for the State Fair next summer. That's right. They're goin' State.

Well, I found a nifty website showing how to store bicycles from the garage ceiling on a search of Livingood Video. And then on The Art of Being Prepared, a nifty website for a photographer... of course Da Vinci Films or DaVinci Films brings up any and everything you would ever want to know about The DaVinci Code...

Does that help? Surely, combine those together and you're sure to get something interesting.

Are you sure "The Art of Being Prepared" is not a cookbook by Alice Cooper (with the same implication of "To Serve Man" a la Twilight Zone)?

Nice.

No, the man is Al Cooper, little chubby dude in a plaid shirt describing all these awesome ways to make food with ... well, storage stuff, really. Looks like it takes place around the Tetons in Wyoming. There's this awesome kitchen and he talks about how to make pretzels, graham crackers, breads of course, this funky brown bread in a can, all kinds of beans, peanut butter... I mean, it goes on and on....

That's it. I'm getting it. sprint.gif

Like I said. I tried. And now all of you have tried. What more could I have done?

Hmm... chubby guy in plaid shirt named Al and something that smacks of practical.

What we need here is more power!

'Uh, I don't think so, Tim.'

Ask the 100 Hour Board.  If they can't find it, no one can.

Coco, if you can't find it anywhere, make a copy, you have already paid yourself when you are taxed yearly on your property. My view anyway, I get to pay taxes for something I never use, so have one on me!

I transferred all of my church videotape videos to DVD last week.

I just bought a new VCR/DVD recorder combo. Believe it or not, the cases are so much smaller that I was able to free up an entire bookcase shelf. And I took the old tapes to DI, so, TAX DEDUCTION CITY, BABE!!!

I tried it with the Disney vids, but the machine wouldn't do it because of stupid copyright protection.

Remember "The Last Leaf?" Cool movie. I haven't watched it since I bought it, but I did while I was transferring to DVD. I was shocked and appalled that the lead actress is none other than "Malcom in the Middle"'s mom.

We're transferring our VHS's over, too. But we're keeping them in a big three-ring binder like Primary Children's hospital does. We're freeing up two whole bookcases! w00t.gif

It's ok for coco to pirate a library video, but I have to pay tithing on a gift?

Bah.  You people have lost all credibility with me.  blahblah.gif

Yeah, she's joking. Chill out, cuke. (That was a joke, too.)

Plus, if you recall, I was more on the side of "it's a gift - don't need to pay" mindset. Then again, if you're conscience is bothering you, maybe that's a sign...

It's ok coolcukes (awesome nym, btw - have you considered Larry the Cucumber for an avatar?). My sense of humor takes some getting used to, and without understanding the, ahem... history between coco and me, combined with the last few weeks' intensity here on the forum, I can see why you interpreted my posts that way.

We're good. biggrin.gif
