I think tape speed is something like 2 cm/sec with a *PAL* Video8. Beware that: NTSC PAL ============== P6-120 = P5-90 (this is why there is no P5-120...) P6-90 = P5-60 etc. since NTSC-VCR's runs slower. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Hans C Larsson Email: hans at smab.se Saab Missiles, Sweden
