Was cleaning out my storage shed and found a bunch of vhs movies (no home movies) in questionable state. Is there anything worth doing or should I dump them (think they can be recycled)? Before it's said, I don't think they're worth digitalizing imo.

If there are not many of them, you can check them on torrent trackers. Some movies got re-edited or re-voiced after initial launch. Chances aren't that big, but in my country there's a hunt for audio-translations from the 90s, ones people are nostalgic about. Maybe your versions are unique in some way and currently inaccessible.
