P.S. I wish JVC had followed the example of Sony:

- Sony's Digital8 can record on "ordinary" Hi8 video. So people can use their current libraries without an expensive upgrade.

- JVC's Digital VHS can not. It requires special tape.

I think that was a mistake. JVC should have designed D-VHS so people could continue using any Super VHS tapes that were laying around the house (rather than force them to go out & buy new ~$20 blanks).
