May I humbly suggest that VHS is superior to DVD for young children, because you can manually censor naughty bits out of “too adult” movies by scratching the magnetic coating off the tape
You can do the same thing with a DVD if you have a needle and a steady hand.
Thank you for this, it was a great laugh.
That's too hard. Just use C-x M-c M-censordvd in emacs.
This sounds like creating an unauthorized derivative work, which is punishable by no more than life imprisonment!
Plus, VHS players are better for holding sandwiches.
But they don’t come with a cup holder
A magnet works as well and doesn't affect the lifespan of the tape as much.
It would be VERY hard to erase just a small portion without damaging the rest.
I have not done this myself, but I had a friend who did. You just pull out the part you want to erase, run a magnet past a few times, then wind it back up.
Or record something else over that moment, bonus points if it's related to an in-joke you already have about the movie.
