What is the best way to dispose of a video cassette that has personal recordings on them?
I have a lot of cassettes that are taking up space and weigh a lot compared to a DVD disc, but I don't want to erase the content first using a VCR as it can take ages and can wear out the VCR machine.
Also I don't need a back up like recording to a DVR. Just want to throw them away.
I can dismantle the cassette and then take out the tape reel and throw it away in the dust bin after giving it a bash with a hammer, but I am looking for a better idea.
Wish they invented the DVD-RW discs first instead of these horrid tape cassettes.
