The problem with this is of the VHS syndrome kind: While the tapes

Side issue;
Sad, because VHS tapes last FAR longer than hard drives. I've seen
tapes from the mid-1980's play well. They can also (if you don't want
to access it at extreme speed) hold about 2G of data.


I thought that Panasonic were to stay in VHS forever and that EP (3x)
was nearly as good as the LP (2x) one... ;-ppp
