NightLife's "Cleveland Tech Report" - on How to Organize a Video Library!

(Posted by Ray Glasser.) Here is another "Cleveland Tech Report" that I produced for Kerry Decker's "NightLife" cable-TV show that he produced and aired in the 1980s. This report is about organizing your video library....showing how I label and number my videotapes, plus how some people organize their library lists. Back in the 1970s and 80s, many many people swapped and traded tapes with other collectors, and publishing an updated library list was an important part of that! Remember, this was all before DVDs came on the scene, which happened in the late 90s. This show was produced in 1985.

Wow, wonder what this guy did when Beta got discontinued in the mid 80's.

@snake2006 First of all, the last Betamax was made in 1993, not in the mid 80s. And blank Beta tapes are STILL available - and there are always Beta machine available on eBay!

to be honest, I nearly puked when I seen that Ampex 60 tape with Starlost. I just keep having bad experiences with Ampex open-reel and cassette tape

This is frankly fascinating, given that I started consuming media in the digital age, watching this excellent example of physical media management is mind-bending. Thanks for uploading.
