Are you a collector, content creator, nostalgia enthusiast, or curious media explorer? Rewind & Discover: Unearthing Content Ideas from VHS and DVDs is your ultimate handbook for discovering, collecting, and making the most of forgotten physical media.

From tips on how to track down obscure releases to step-by-step tutorials on digitizing tapes and DVDs, this book guides you through every stage of the hunt. Learn how to repurpose content ethically and legally, explore fascinating case studies, and turn each find into a creative opportunity.

Whether you're browsing thrift shops, diving into online auctions, or just want to uncover rare instructional videos, documentaries, home recordings, or B-movie gems, this guide will help you build a meaningful collection — and uncover the stories behind the media the world left behind.

Rediscover. Repurpose. Reimagine.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Where to look for hidden media gems — from thrift stores and garage sales to eBay and obscure regional auction platforms.

✅ How to search efficiently online and off-line, using methods like wildcard search terms, niche keywords, and "follow the weird" techniques that lead to unexpected treasures.

Ways to digitize and preserve your finds using affordable equipment — preserving media that might otherwise be lost to time.
