[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 872677, member: 199791"] Nope, not surprised at all, cos I knew about that back in the 90s... :-rofl2 You can use small BetaCam tapes in Betamax machines too so long as they're not the SP version (a few high-end Betamax machines with hardened heads will support BetacamSP tapes, but regular machines cannot as the tape will grind the heads down to nothing), the only difference is that Betacam runs at a much higher speed so a 2-hour(ish) L750 Max tape would be about 5 minutes in a Cam machine, so they can put as much information onto the tape as possible, hence why they're such high-quality compared to a domestic VCR... :) There's also HDCam which is a further derivative, but I don't know much about that one aside from it being used for high-def content... :) [/QUOTE]
