Have you tried other brands of media? It could be that, it's not an overheating issue as the same amount of heat should be generated either playing or recording. It could be a firmware issue as well. When I start backing up my MST3K library I'll let you know and see if you want copies.

I just don't know, but I don't have the disks to troubleshoot much more. I'm setting myself up to use the computer's capture card to continue the project. I just need a S-Video cable that will reach. I have one but finding it is proving difficult...

I've been copying some of my library of MST3K to DVD with the settop DVD recorder with some good success. So far I've finished The Deadly Mantis, She Creature, Mole People and I'm recording The Thing That Couldn't Die. God it's good to watch these again. It just makes me wish I could've started recording these long ago as I only have the last two seasons.

Check your vcr belts - Alot of times on older machines when the belts get old it will start shutting off the vcr. Also check the tapes, as tapes that are too tight will do this as well on older vcrs.

If you can rewind a tape and forward fast it without playing it then I would check the belts. Usally if you cant rewind a tape and it shuts off while rewinding, its time to buy a new vcr or get a tape rewinder




actually, I have a similar problem with my fairly recient VHS player/recorder. On some tapes, it will rewind/fast forward ok, but then when you press "play" the tape will be too tight, or something, and it just shuts off. The other VCR's in my house will play the same tape just fine, but the one in the bedroom if the tape is too tight, the VCR will just shutdown and sometimes I'll have to turn it back on 2-3 times to get it to play. strange eh?

One thing I don't like about these new VCR's, you can't "dub" movies anymoore from VCR to VCR, otherwise the sound doesn't come out in the copy I have this very OLD VCR laying around from the early 80's for that very reason, its the only VCR I have that will let me "dub" a movie, but its not a 4 head like the others in the house are

yes I still "dub" movies from time to time because moving from VCR to CD just doesn't work for me ever.

How do you get a VHS tape out of a VHS recorder when it gets stuck? I put a blank videotape in my VHS player, and now its stuck, can't get it out, just keeps making a 'clicking' sound, is there a way to get the tape out of there? I figured out how to take the cover off, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the tape out.

Just in case anyone is interested in this little cow-town puppet show the head photographer from the series, Michael Kienitz, has posted several still images from the filming of the movie that no one has seen before.

Usally pushing it in again will unjam it if it does not eject the first time.

Tape transports are so cheap now. It's not like the old days when they used metal in there...

Good spoof of Chris Crocker. Look at the Chris Crocker and Chewie one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztRJYzYH6HE&mode=related&search=

Someone just needs to amputate Crocker's head but I thought Chewie had alot to add to the debate.

I wouldn't go so far as amputation but Chewie is definately the smarter of the two. \:D

I get the MST3K email news from the SATELLITE NEWS website. Some of it is real interesting. This came in today:


Ken Plume over at Quick Stop Entertainment has posted another lengthy
MST3K interview, this time with Frank Conniff. Head on over to the
following address:
http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/2007/09/18/interview-frank-conniff

Brian Eggert, a Minnesota native and movie reviewer at the Deep Focus
Review web site, has started the "Mystery Science Theater 3000 Award."
This is an award he gives to movies he reviews which are so bad that, in
his words, rating them with zero stars "just isn't low enough." You can
read about the first "MST3K Award" for the movie "Dragon Wars" at:
http://deepfocusreview.com/Reviews/dragonwars.asp

I just got this email tonight. Some of you may find this interesting:


We are excited to announce some very big news for MST3K fans.

But first, some housekeeping: For reasons that will become apparent, we need
to ask those of you who reach our site using the URL MST3K.com to update your
bookmarks, and please use the URL MST3Kinfo.com. Many of you use this URL
already, but if you get to us via MST3K.com, starting next week you won't be able
to anymore.

The reason is that, next week, MST3K.com will become a new destination for a
brand new site, created by a reconstituted, relaunched Best Brains Inc.

Or, as they put it when they contacted us about this: "The 'Bots are Back!"

Beginning November 5th, BBI will be launching its very own website at
MST3K.com. The site will feature brand-new animated adventures of Crow, Tom Servo and
Gypsy. We're told the goal is to have one new adventure each week (though
"some settling may occur with shipping," they added). The Web site will also
feature work from the original series (which BBI is now calling "the legacy
series"), behind-the-scenes footage and other material culled from the BBI vault.

Also on the site will be BBI's first online store, featuring all new
merchandise. (This means that the BBI merchandise section of our site will be taken
down. )

The new adventures of the 'bots are being produced by BBI President, MST3K
series writer and the returning voice of Gypsy, Jim Mallon. He will be joined on
this new experiment by veteran MST3K series writer and performer Paul Chaplin
(who will be on the writing team and will be providing the voice of Crow)
along with new writing and performing talent.

We know this is going generate a lot of buzz among the fan base and you all
probably have a zillion questions. So do we. Many will be answered on Nov. 5th.
More will be answered soon after. Jim told us that the site and project "are
going to grow in a very organic fashion and we're going to let the characters
and the story take us in the direction they want to take us." We at Satellite
News can't wait to see it.

What does this mean for Satellite News? The biggest change is that we will no
longer be known as "The official MST3K Web site," and this marks the end of
our 10-year arrangement with Best Brains as the official voice of the old Info
Club. Jim has, however, declared us, "The Official MST3K fan site." We still
have close ties to BBI and whenever they have news you'll see it here first,
along with news about the rest of the former cast and crew members of our
favorite cowtown puppet show. For us, this is just one more topic in the growing
list of MST3K-related news it's our job to report.

We have some interesting plans for our site as well, so be sure to stay tuned!

More news today:

After we posted that the 'bots are back, you may have asked yourself,
"We know what Mike, Kevin, Bill, Jim and Paul are doing, but what about
Joel, Trace, Frank, Mary Jo and Josh?" Well, here's your answer...

Cinematic Titanic

So what is Cinematic Titanic? In a nutshell, Joel and the gang have
secured the rights to 12 bad, MST-quality films. They will all be
writing and performing new riffs, with silhouettes. The plan is to offer
downloadable and burnable DVDs through the site -- sort of one-stop
shopping.

We're told that while there will be an overall premise to the show,
there won't be many "host segments" or the like. And the silhouette
won't be of people in theater seats. Instead, it will consist of people
up on scaffolding on the side of the screen...as seen in the Cinematic
Titanic logo.

The date and title of the first release have yet to be announced, but
you can be the first to recieve the news by signing up for the Cinematic
Titanic newsletter. Just visit Cinematic Titanic for more
information.
