I'm sure all of you out their know how to burn a CD. But have you ever heard of burning a tape?  



Here's a VCR straight out of the stone age, dug out of the wet and musty depths of someone's basement.

Great stuff especially the first video. A very good idea.

Thanks. My original plan was to use the vintage VCR in the second video to burn the tapes in. But when I found out the machine didn't work, I had to find a substitute VCR to do the experiment with.

Ah right ok, at least you got two videos out of it instead.

Awesome videos! I commented on YT.   I've burned some tapes myself, in fact the cassette was one of my first episodes.



Cassette tape in microwave. I'd initially planned to just let it melt a little but I walked away and when I came back it was burning and burning. I thought it was cool so I just left it go.



VHS tape in a microwave. I was doing this on the back porch so that's why I killed the fire so quickly. But it was really hard to extinguish and didn't want to go out on its own.



8mm camcorder tape in a microwave. This is the least cool of the ones I did because it never caught fire except a little at the end. It just smoked a lot.
