Default Re: JVC 7700EK VCR 1980. 405 line recording.

I too have just been given a Ferguson 3V23 which has been used to play back 405 line recordings. One such recording is, I am told, inside the machine which I look forward to playing. In ignorance, I was under the impression that only earlier ie mechanical VCR's could be used

From an earlier post, I believe that it is not possible to digitally record such 405 line recordings to use as a master. Not yet tried, I wonder if a combined VCR/DVD recorder might be tricked so that the visual loss when back to back video tape recording can be minimised.

Of course, many "old school" television recordings are available from the BBC on DVD or through Freeview/Web "DAVE" equivalents which can be held on HDD after which a Aurora will complete the loop.
