[net.video] Beta tapes

tmh (12/02/82)

I have a beta and use almost exclusivly the 750 tapes,
although I also have one 250 and four 850 tapes. 
I notice no quality difference in tape thickness etc
between the 250 and the 750 tapes of the same brand. 
The may be some difference with the 850 as one of the
five we bought of that showed problems.

I have about 50 L-750's with movies, PBS series, etc and notice no
degradation.  They are recorded in beta 2 mode.  When you go to beta 3
or to 850's, the real degradation (color streaking, etc) begins.  Many
movies are slightly over 2 hours, so L-750's are really mandatory.
