I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to tranfer the old video tape recorded on philips video recorder to dvd ,i have found one in a cupboard i taped way back in 1981 i think ,it says get it together on one side and totp on the other side ,which is more than likely clips of the dancers legs and co or zoo ,im not saying i definitley want to transfer them because having lost part of my job money is tight at the moment ,but i was just wondering for the future if this task is possible or not ,many thanks.

Yes, it can be done, but you'd need a Philips vcr, a DVD recorder and a lead that will connect the audio/video from vcr to dvd recorder. Sorry to hear about your job

I can transfer it for you if you like, free of charge.
I've got the top of the range model by Philips, great picture quality.
Send me a PM if you'd like to Discuss it.

Thanks matt ,thats very kind of you indeed ,i know get it together pop show still survives in the archives ,but the chance of anyone ever watching an episode again seem very rare ,i cant see itv ever repeating it ,or any editions ever being released on dvd ,so it would be great to see some of the complete editions again ,i just wished id labelled what exact editions were on the tape ,i did have roughly about 10 of the philips video cassettes ,but all i can think is i must have thrown them as i probably thought id never be able to view them again ,i know i taped 8 editions of get it together from 1980 that was repeated on itv during the summer of 81 ,and the complete series of get it together from 1981 ,and loads of totp clips from 81 -82 ,pop goes xmas ,clips from razzmattazz etc ,anyway ill pm you matt ,many thanks mate.

No worries mate, glad I can help.
There can't be many of us with V2000 recorders any more. I've actually got two!
If you come across any more tapes, just let me know.

Kal can arrange for these sort of things to be transferred to a high standard (and have done so with many obsolete formats in the past).

Just to say a big thank you to matt ,ive sent matt a Philips video that ive had for the last 33 years and haven't been able to watch it for the last 32 years,anyway matt has messaged me to say that there are around 9 editions of get it together pop show from 1981 ,TOTP from xmas day 1981 and new years eve 1981 ,and various other totp clips id taped from that period ,and matt has very kindly offered to transfer the video on to dvd so I will be able to once again watch what id taped all those many years ago ,im looking forward to watching some o the performances again from get it together ,especially the dancers The TSD's and some of the guests from the 1981 series including The Freshies ,Secret Affair ,showaddywaddy ,modern romance and a rare performance of kirsty McColl singing see that girl ,so thanks to missing episodes forum member matt for all his help with this task.

It's nice for my v2000 player to get some use again. I've got the Xmas day TOTP on Betamax, so I've got a backup if there's any problems with the one on this tape.

you are very kind matt ,I know that the get it togethers still survive in the archives ,but to be honest the chances of these ever seeing the light of day again on tv will be extremely rare ,so im glad I kept the shows from all those years ago ,many times ive read of obscure bands etc from the past saying that they would love to see their performances from years ago again ,and get it together did have some bands or singers who never seemed to make it much in the pop world ,so at least if anyone is ever looking for their get it together performances ,and its from a copy that I have at least I can help them out in making sure they get a copy .

I used to love pop music matt from being a kid in the 70s ,and as you know apart from totp there was no other pop music on tv around ,so as soon as I had a video recorder I tried to tape as much pop music on tv as possible then I could watch them back again and again at my own leisure ,and I used to love watching get it together on itv especially the dancers on the show ,The TSD's,ive e mailed teri scoble the choreographer for get it together to tell her some more of her dances have turned up ,im hoping they will be a nice little reminder of her time on get it together

id just like to thank matt very much for transferring the Philips tape on to dvd ,the quality saying the tape was 33 years old is superb ,it has been a real treat down memory lane for me to watch again the get it togethers that I originally taped when I was 16 years of age ,matt has also very kindly recorded a dvd of the episodes to send to the shows choreographer teri scoble ,who is still in contact with roy north ,so between them they also will be able to take a trip down memory lane and watch their performances of yesteryear ,many thanks to matt once again.
