Thanks for the reply. it clears up some stuff for me.
well, Ive been looking at these old, shitte' portable VCRs on ebay...and have decided, those are junk.
Instead I'm now looking at these super compact 8mm/Hi8 recorders. Some even have screens, headphone jacks, and even stereo...
so, which leads me to explain what Im up to.
Some bands I like a lot, let you audio tape their shows. But NO video. If you are seen video taping you are kicked out. So to remedy this situation I was gonna put a decent small camera into an old microphone body so that I can make a nice little DVD or something out of it.
The best part is that it looks similiar to a DAT recorder...and the thing runs on a rechargeable pack.
so, here's my new questions.
1) does the Hi8 audio standard comapre to that of a VHS tape?
what else should i know about this?
