The Tape Trading dream has died for now...

[SorthNarolina]

My hardrive asploded towards the end of the game on sunday. All the videos contained are inaccessible. I had some of the ones from 08 on there too. If the Monday Night Bucs game is gone I will be very sad.

I record all the losses crystal clear but as soon as Kasay trots out for the game winner the hard drive gets diarrhea and stops. That sums up the season for me.

I was hoping to have a nice hard copy of all the games for years to come but this is getting frustrating. I think I might invest in a blu-ray burner. It might be hard to fit 3 hours of 1080p HD on a dvd.

NFL game rewind here I come.

Is there anybody recording the games to try and build up an archive? I'm really jealous of these steelers, colts, and cowboys fans with their massive tape trading communities.

I checked with the NFL films archives and even though they brag about all the tapes they have, they say it's impossible to get a hold of them.

Ouch

You could bronze a pile of dog poo, it will be the same thing as the 2010 Panther season....most likely. Bronze two and stuff some books in between.

i get mine from other sources... i had 2 versions of the bucs-panthers mnf game and both of them ended up getting disc errors. all my games from 2008 are pretty much shot too. pro tip: don't keep stuff on an external hdd, i overused and abused mine and it's got random errors everywhere.

[SorthNarolina]

Yeah I never did external because it couldn't keep up with the video. 1080p was choppy

[Seamonk]

i usually get in 720p since they don't really broadcast in true 1080p anyway. no point in using 200% extra space if it's not gonna be real hd.

[pantherfan81]

That blows. My hd crashed a couple years ago n still got in hopes of retrieving precious files n pron.

Blu-ray burners are really cheap, but the discs are extremely expensive.

PM me if you want access to a TxOxRxRxExNxT website that still has a seeder for the 2008 MNF game vs tampa. lots of other classic panthers games as well. since i got rid of cable tv and no longer have DVR, it's how i rewatch games these days.

[SorthNarolina]

Yeah I found a website to help me thanks for the offer it is great. PM me for info we can all help seed files.

The more people that seed the faster file goes right? I'd like to know.

I'm in. I'll most def seed if you point me in the right direction

[SorthNarolina]

Just to throw it out there I found an extremely special place that has easily accessible panther games dating back to 1995. The more people that go to the special place the more people we will have to "seed" games which will create a snowball effect. PM me if you want to build up a network which would make this much easier.

I'm watching a pretty high quality video of our 23-0 win against the giants in 2005. I never got to see it live as I was working. Good stuff.

[KillerKat]

You need an external hard drive to backup your stuff

I was under the impression that you wouldnt have to keep a collection with NFL Rewind since it is supposed to show past seasons also. Currently my subscription allows me to see any game this year or any game from last year, but I dont know how theyll do it in the future.

I dont know there a lot of options for data recovery also. Have you explored them all?
