Old video tapes.

I have a machine that transfers videos to DVD's but I've never worked out how to use it. Most of mine are ones I've recorded myself. I do need to go through them as I did find an old documentary that no one had seen or heard of; also audio tapes of live performances etc.

The tape from inside can be used to keep birds off vegetable plants if wound around sticks. It can also be used as plant ties if loosely wrapped round a stem and stapled together at supports.
The outside boxes can be used as storage of pens/pencls or other small items. The paper cover is usually removeable.

Even the charity shops won't take them now, so we took a boxful to the tip. The lads who work there were delighted as I think there's a way to transfer them on to a DVD, but I don't know how it's done.
