Nice job on the web page, and useful info.
(And I still run across people who say they can see
differences between Mini-DV tapes...! ;-)
Fuji standard-grade VHS is $1.00/tape at a local
discount grocery and one of the discount department
stores and I could not see the difference between
using it and Fuji SVHS for VHS copies, so you can
guess what I use...;-)
