It's not good for the tapes to let them sit half wound like that.
Montana Smith said:I never heard that before, but I did become paranoid about tapes stretching or crinkling. (One tape dealt a killing blow to my previous VCR).
Those old 'steam-powered DVDs' really look their age now. All those moving parts. Real Indy artifacts!
ResidentAlien said:What I've come to understand is just as you're prone to all that wear at the start of a tape, you'll get similar wear in the middle of the tape if you leave it unwound at that spot.
I think this calls for further research...
ResidentAlien said:I did do an experiment for an experimental film class last semester where I tried my damndest to use a tape to its dying point in the hopes of artifacting and wear to comment on the ephemerality and obsolescence of both ideas and art.
