VCRs and video tapes are tempermental? Until a bad tape recently
damaged my VCR (it was a tape from a company selling parts and
instructions for laser printer repair), I've never had a single
problem with my Zenith 4-head VCR (made by JVC) that I purchased back
in 1984. Of course, I've never rented tapes for it, and only used new
or blank tapes in it (and only purchased high-quality blank tapes to
use).
As to DVDs, I can only say "what are those"? I never saw one, and am
in no hurry to see, or use, one. Again, they're digital rubbish,
whereas VCRs use tapes with nice analog signals recorded on them.
