Review on Sony 8T160VR VHS Cassettes 160 Minutes (8-Pack) - Discontinued Model for Extended Recording by Richard Payne

Okay, let's be honest. In the United States, there are probably only about eight people left who videotape TV shows. i am one of them And my needs are incredibly simple. I just want a video cassette that can do three things: 1. Record pictures and sounds with the same fidelity as TV2. Work with different video players by time counters3. Working with different video players through "markers" indicating the beginning of a new recording. After using some old videocassettes I decided to buy some new ones and like an idiot I thought "Sony!" How bad can these be? Well after trying 10 of them I can say, that they can be (and are) very bad. Yes, they capture images and sound quite well, but they fail at #2 and #3 above. When you play, you can't track where you are with the time counter. And they do not register new record index marks. I've used Maxell before and never had a problem. I think I'll throw them away and go back to Maxell. I sincerely advise you to give them up.
