Fooling an s-video recorder to record s-video on standard tapes

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Someone please remind me how this is done and whether or not it is worth the effort on TDK EHG tapes. I can make very good replicas now on an s-video Panasonic recorder using EHG tape on a digital satellite source but wonder if recorded as an s-video signal it might not be even better? Note we use the 625 line PAL system here.
I notice that the latest s-video Panasonic recorder (NV-HS960AM) available here is advertised as being able to record an s-video signal on standard tapes so maybe someone has experimented with this or a similar machine?
BTW I appreciate the downside that such s-video tapes can only be played back on s-video recorders.
Thanks for any input
John
