With tape, it's almost an oxymoron. You get a video signal by passing tape over the head. If you stop the tape, you don't get a freeze frame; you get no signal.But playing a DVD involves loading each frame from disc into RAM, from which it is then scanned out to the screen. Want to freeze frame? Easy: stop doing that. The last frame's still in RAM.

Antti PeltolaIf you make VHS or Betamax transfers of old videotapes to YouTube make sure that you select 60p (NTSC) or 50p (PAL) as the frame rate because videotapes were 30i (NTSC) or 25i (PAL).If you don't do this you halve the effective frame rate because of interlacing.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/VHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VHS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Betamax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Betamax</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/PAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PAL</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/NTSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NTSC</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Video</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a>

DanabnormalThe good: visibly at least, the heads are still in one piece.The bad: Still no picture.Loading mechanism has been removed and I've cleaned as much of the path as I can access.Anyone out there have any suggestions??<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/betamax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#betamax</a>

DanabnormalWhat a beautiful day! To be stuck in a spare bedroom trying to get a betamax player working!!I'm going deeper today, going to remove the tape load mechanism to try and get the tape path as spotless as possible so I can rule that out.I think I'm being overly gentle with the heads as well so will be putting a bit more pressure on them to make sure I'm getting contact and removing anything that's there.Fingers crossed...<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/betamax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#betamax</a>

DanabnormalHeads cleaned and... SOOOO CLOSE!! Unfortunately a second tape wiped out this progress and I haven't got it back to anything near this. I'm starting to think this is an alignment issue...<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/betamax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#betamax</a>
