    Clutchfans,

    I used to have a VHS copy of the televised championship rally that was done at the Astrodome, but lost it many moons ago. I am wondering if anyone has a digital copy of this, or even better the "Simply the Best" video that they played with the highlights of the playoff run.

    Tinman, where you at?

    I would love to see this. I was 11 and was front row next to the stage. I got on the broadcast a couple of times. I'd pay if someone had a copy of this they could dub and sell me.

    I have a VHS tape of the Astrodome celebration (hosted by Mattress Mac) as well as the '94 championship parade. I've often wished I could share it with ClutchFans, because who else would care? But I don't have anything close to the equipment/software to get it off a tape and on to the Web.

    Can you make a copy of the tape and send it to someone can do something with it?

    Problem is, how would you share it? Is there any way we could share old footage on a private server or anything? I have plenty of footage and full games that are not common that I would love to share.

    I was there too dude.

    However i don't think portable camcorders existed then or they might have been too expensive.

    I remember booing the sports illustrated

    Theoretically, yeah, but I don't have two VCRs handy. And who would I even send it to? Clutch? He probably has better things to do. It's always been just a little too much trouble to be worth it, from my perspective. But if the Rockets win it all this year, I pledge to get it done! lol

    Here are a couple of pics of the tape. I got it a few years ago, unopened, at a Heights antiques store. There's no barcode on the thing, and I don't remember ever seeing them for sale. Judging by the prominence of their logo, I'm guessing it was produced by Ch. 11 for purposes unknown.

    I have this on VHS and do have a converter. Unfortunately it is at my parents house and I wont be able to do anything about it until I go back over there. Not sure when but it will be within the next 2-3 weeks. If you're willing to wait

    Don't know how busy R2K is, but he has EVERYTHING you need to do this.

    I would dearly love to vape a bag or two with R2K and get that sucker online. He's probably as busy as I am, though. Hell, he has to keep this place sane, for one.

    They have a device at BEest Buy called Dazzle DVD Recorder.
    You record straight from VHS to computer.
    Costs maybe $55 bucks or so.
    Is worth the investment in my opinion if you have much on VHS.
