I thought I was the only one.
Nope. I earnestly clicked the link wondering how in the world Billy Joel was keeping Blockbuster Video alive. LOL.
Lend me a tape, you're the video man. Lend me a film tonight.

I miss the comments the most. Seeing why someone rated something a certain way.
I don't even remember that.
Another trip down memory lane. Remember when you could comment on other people's amazon comments? Those comments were the best. I would often scroll through comments until I came to one with a long chain of replies. Then I would really have a good insight on what I may purchase.

'cause we're all in the mood for a movie, and we'll be rewinding all night.

I am not thinking digitally. VHS stores the video as it was broadcast. But how the audio is stored, has nothing to do with that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_television There were different ways to transmit audio over the air waves, but it was done on a different frequency from the video. There were even schemes to broadcast the audio on regular FM stereo as. Some VCRs had a separate audio in so you could use…
You're literally now just saying the same thing I was! It was a different frequency on the same signal. I never said it was chopped between frames! That's some weird conclusion you came to all by yourself. Hence why I said you're thinking digitally rather than of an analogue signal. Or at least not realising a broadcast transmission is broadband rather than narrowband.
My mistake then. I triggered on what you wrote "That means audio will be encoded in the signal after the video frame."
It can be interpreted either way (at least by my brain) - chopped up after video, or "after video on the video tape but continuously".
I think this exchange is what they call "violent agreement" :-D
