Title: Short play / Long play
Post by: Papper on December 13, 2013, 08:33:54 AM
Remember back when.. you did this with your VCR, recording VHS.

Long play = better quality but took more tape length. Used more frames.

Short play less frames?

What exactly was the difference? Short play was always more blurry. Howcome?

Bodybuilding related because growing up I ripped rental videos prominently Van Damme and Bruce Lee movies by making copies and they often were in shitty quality.

I recorded some stuff on shortplay and some on Longplay, but having one general is more convenient
