- re: PAL Video8 tapes in North America
-
- Guess what: They will work as well! But seriously, it won't be a problem just
- the length of the tapes may be a little less (its the case that an E-240
- is a few minutes longer than a T-160 normal VHS tape).. so the cheaper
- cost of tape in the US should be to your advantage to buy them there!
-
- The thing to remember is that the Tape is the same and the cartridge is the
- same, the way the images get written to the tape is the difference, well
- not completely true either, the format of the image is the difference
- should not adversely affect you in anyway except that a few minutes
- may be missing, so buy extra tapes.
