No dropouts and no distortions when fast forwarding. And you could flip the tapes like a compact cassette, giving you 2 x 4 4 hrs per tape. I think near the end they even had VCRs with autoreverse. I thought it was the better system, but too many people thought otherwise and bought VHS. GerritReceived on 2019-01-13 09:00:04
