Hi,
I've several old family vhs tapes to capture,convert,etc.but have discovered that some of them have become attacked by mold.
Might anyone have a solution other than my diving off a tall building?
Much thanks,
Charlie

Send them to a service that specializes in cleaning and transferring VHS tapes.
Look at this place:
http://www.videointerchange.com/price_list.htm
The owners of that site are knowledgeable and friendly.
They have special restoration services for dealing with not only signal issues, but physical damage to the source media.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

When a tape has mold its Shot. Don't do it because I don't know if it works or not. But I heard about 20 years ago when VHS was still strong that people use to, Clean tapes with Vingar & it was supposedly great. I don't know if its true or not but I heard that how they clean 8mm & Super 8, 16mm from mold. Your guess is good as mine.
