1 tape using SLP could hold 360 minutes.

LP it could hold 240 minutes.

So if you were poor there'd be tapes with 4.5 movies worth of terrible quality movies in order with one tape holding the first half of Hellraiser 2 and another holding the second half lol.

A five pack of blank tapes would be $20. So $20 essentially 700mb shitty cd sized video files for a movie. 4.5x5 = 30 movies at 700mb. 30x.700 = 21gb of storage.

A platter drive currently gets about $7/tb if you're going budget. $20 = ~3tb of storage.

142x the storage for the same price. And you can splurge on nice 1.4gb 1080p x265 rips instead. 3000/1.4= ~2143 movies for the same price lol.

E: Let's not even get into the cost of renting first, and owning two vcrs lol.
