Extended play is similar to LP, but actually provides you even more recording time. EP was primarily used to document long, continuous events without the need to change video tapes every 2 hours. Due to the fact that the video is not of optimal quality, many times this setting was not used in order to preserve the quality of your footage. Tapes recorded at EP usually are the most problematic after years of storage, displaying a wide variety of tape damage symptoms including color loss, audio loss, frame skipping, and tracking issues.
I do record soapies with a VCR on sabc 1 on LP mode, but while the recording is on the tv changes to EP and then the recording looks very bad. The tape specifications and recording requirements exceeded standard VHS, with a higher particle density and stronger substrate.
The result is a longer shelf life for Video-8 tapes. Introduced in , Mini-DV is a completely digital recording system with resolution of lines in standard definition, up to lines in high definition. The tapes were smaller than Video-8 formats, about half the size.
The quality and shelf life of Mini-DV is excellent. This was the last innovation of video tape recording systems. Tape based video became obsolete as tapeless HD cameras recording on memory cards and optical discs have become the norm. Close menu. Our Services. Video Tape Transfers. Movie Film Transfers.

Thread starter chicouk Start date Jul 30, For the past few months i have been recording in LP and i think the quality is really poor. StevieBuck Well-known Member. It is recording modes. My dvd recorder is similar.
It ranges from 1 hour recording time through to 8 hours recording time i. MartTea Member. Beat me to it-XP is best quality 1 hr per dvd SP is standard play 2 hrs per dvd then you have long play,extended play. On my Panasonic I use nothing else. A bit of extra info for you. So an SP recording has more compression than XP etc. Hence recordings in LP look bad and are really only useful for viewing.
