Have you ever wondered what's the difference between a Beta and VHS tape? Like, physically? They're both half-inch (12.7mm) magnetic tapes, after all... and you can't exactly put a beta tape into a VHS VCR, or vice versa... but what if we opened up the cassettes and transplanted the tape between them?

So I opened the beta (left) and vhs (right) tapes

I wound the tape from the beta onto the VHS tape

I needed to unspool the old VHS tape, which is hard. this thing is nearly a half-kilometer long, about 1400 feet. So how do you do that? A POWER DRILL!

And I put it back together. And I stuck it in the VHS VCR, and hit play.

Well, it doesn't really show anything. The VHS VCR can't decode the Beta signal, because it's encoded differently. There's no sound, either.

But what about the tape? Is it similar enough to VHS tape that we could record onto it?

YEP! Without any issues.

I'd love to try the opposite way, but I don't have as many beta tapes to spare, and also my beta VCRs are barely functional as it is, they have trouble playing beta tapes, let alone VHS tapes in horrible hybrid forms.

Hey, since I’ve seen more people on my dash talking about The Muppets in general lately, here’s some links to older muppet media I’ve had trouble looking for in the past and even though they don’t seem as hard to find now, a lot of people might not have heard about them if they aren’t into muppets, so if you’re interested or want to watch something different or just kill some time here ya go

(All or most of these are uploaded by the same user and while their account has tons of muppet media it’s a little scattered so I wanted to put these specific ones together for ease)

Here’s Hey Cinderella!, a muppet production of Cinderella. I love the stepsisters and this has one of the few muppet monsters that have ever made me feel uneasy

Here’s the Muppets Musicians of Bremen, which features no human actors,

Here’s The Frog Prince, featuring the first appearances of dear Robin and Sweetums

Here’s The Great Santa Claus Switch, this upload has multiple sections of video because it contains everything featured in the dvd, the third one is the start of the movie itself

Here’s the lovely, heartwarming Emmet Otters Jugband Christmas

And here’s the two original pilots, The Muppets Valentines Show plays first and is then followed by The Muppets: Sex and Violence. They stick a little bit they’ll play through just fine.

I hope people enjoy and if there’s any interest I’d be more than happy to make another group post with links to other older muppet specials, just let me know!!! I watched all these and others while I was pretty sick last week

#Muppets #The Muppets #Old Media #Videos #a lot of these are on YouTube but I wanted to link these archive ones #they have no ads and they aren’t in sections aside from some dvd uploads #but those are uploaded in sections according to the dvd not like every seven minutes #I might delete this post I’m worried it might be risky???

Media: Cassettes

Tonight, I feel like my whole body is made out of memories. I'm a mix-tape, a cassette that's been rewound so many times you can hear the fingerprints smudged on the tape.
