Should I keep old VHS tapes?

You should digitize VHS tapes as soon as possible, because the tapes will not last forever--once they're gone, they're gone.

How can I play old VHS tapes?

You can play VHS tapes with a VCR or a VHS camcorder connected to a tv or computer.

Can you record over a VHS tape?

You can, but you might need some tape to cover some holes/notches if it's a prerecorded tape.
