It is still in regular use today.
Unbelievable Jeff.

, married in 92, so is our Hinari Electric carving knife with blades for cutting fresh or frozen meat.

Got to get this onto DVD as VHS tapes don't last forever.

Just to warn you, DVD-R's are made with dyes that fade over time, and the life of them might be 10-20 years. I don't know if that's from manufacture or when burned, so be careful - when digital media fails it tends to be unusable unlike analogue that just goes grainy.

If you make the DVD, you're probably safest copying the files to a hard drive and keep them safe. Always keep multiple backups of anything important. Cloud storage such as onedrive or google drive is a good option.

John, thanks for the advice I didn't know that, cheers.
