Recording Video in LP Mode & EP Mode vs. SP
Mode
It may tempting to stretch your dollar and maximize the
total recording space on a
videotape by recording in Long Play format (also
known as LP Mode) or Extended
Play formats. Resist the
temptation! There is not much more you could do
to risk the quality of your video.

- a d v e r t i s e m e n t -
| Maintain the quality of your video memories
by recording in Standard Play format.
In newer digital tape formats, SP and LP
modes offer a similar video quality,
but there is a higher
risk of video dropouts and
audio dropouts in LP mode. Recording your
tapes in SP mode gives you a higher level of security
since more of the tape has to be damaged to make
your image irretrievable or unaesthetic.
Because of the risk of video digitization during
playback, stashSpace does not accept digital
videotapes recorded in LP mode.
Please make sure that the tapes you send us are
recorded in SP mode.
