Funai Electric, the last remaining Japanese company to make the units, has announced that the company will cease production on its VCR units, due to declining sales and difficulty acquiring parts.

Their VCRs are made in China and sold in many territories, including North America, under brand names like Sanyo, but last year’s figures reported just 750,000 sales worldwide.

Considering that most have abandoned physical media entirely, those of us still collecting have moved onto 4kBD this hardly a shock.

In fact the idea that anyone in North America even purchased a VCR last year is the surprising fact.

I'm actually thinking about moving my entire DVD collection into digital form, but that will need a pretty large hard drive and a couple of large back up solutions for that to happen.

I'd like to do this but didn't know it was possible? So far, I have only added the ultraviolet bluerays to my account.

There are limitless solutions for Mpeg4 conversion and if all you really want to convert is the film itself you can save a ton of storage space. I can get most ~90 minute BDs right around a GB and change with aggressive compression.

My method is overkill, but I used DVDFab to rip DVDs and BDs, and use avisynth to frameserver the footage to MP4Box for filtering and upscaling before final conversion. It's an old and convoluted process, and it is time consuming, but the results are amazing. It definitely beats any off the shelf option.
