This video seems to have coencided with the release of the Crystal Payton's book in 1994. The reverse says:
"For more information, or to order Silver Dollar City's new book The Story of Silver Dollar City with the complete history, call 1-800-952-6626."

I think it'll make for a nice watch on a snow day!

I am currently making my own SDC DVD! It is a complilation of our home movies from the 80's. There are only a few composing maybe 15 minutes, but I have wanted to do it for a while, and I figure now I am stuck in the house, I might as well get started. I'll let ya'all know how it goes!

You know that you are going to have to post that on You Tube...   I think we need an SDC tube.

No problem with the home videos. Not that they are too lengthy as I said, and they are not too exciting, but fun for me to watch!

The SDC tapes however do not transfer. I simply wanted to back it up to DVD, and put the VCR into storage (and had no intentions of putting it on the internet-no need for un-needed legal bills!). The DVD-R machine pauses the recording because of copy protection. It is a security feature in many VHS tapes that stops the dubbing. No biggie. WHen I get back to work -whenever that is I will upload the home movies to my Youtube.

Rube im pretty sure the copy protection on a vhs is just a little tab on the side that u can break off. just get a vhs that u can copy and look for the difference on the side to show u what to take off.

oops!  now there's some details for ya to think about.

Granted, I could tape over, or break off the tab (in this case there is no tab, and the tape honestly didn't do it), dub the video to another tape, and upload it from there, but that is alot of work for just a back up, and I am going to pass on that for now!

The tab on the VHS tape is there to prevent that particular tape from being recorded over. In other words when you had a tape that you didn't want to accidentally record over, you broke the tab off.  It has nothing to do with the copyright protection that can be encoded onto the video itself.  Rube, I'm sure you could probably find software that would copy the tape, but like you said you might not want to fool with it. Now if any SDC reps are reading this thread...if you woud release this video on DVD, we promise we would buy it and poor old Rube wouldn't have to violate any copyrights!  ;D

I watched it, and that was enough for now! No need to dub it or anything as long as I take care of my VHS I should be fine!
