How long would an old VHS 180 and 240 tape stretch For?
If you had one real and went in a straight line till it run out and got to the end?

Did anyone ever try this?
Also did you ever used to rape the tape round anything?

Lought how can you say tape over DVD ? Tapes where grainy & fuzzy and you'd spend half the filum trying to sort the tracking out. Sound quality was at best muffled and definition & colours where awful . . . . . .
