So I own over 500 vhs tapes. And dvds, but those are easy to rip. I am trying to archive all my tapes before they go bad. However, that takes a lot of time. Should I just try to find all the movies I can for tapes I own?

I've been out of the game for a few years now. How vast are the resources for 90s movies and such ?

I'd say download everything and keep track of what you can't find, then rip those because there will probably be people in the data hoarder or lost media communities who would love to hoard and share it.
