Recently I have experienced a strange problem on my VCR (VHS).  On some of
my tapes, the recorder is behaving as if the end of tape were in the middle
of the tape at a specific spot.  This occurred in places which were originally
in the middle of recordings, and there seems to be no way to record or
playback over these areas.  Obviously, either I have a problem with my tapes
or a problem with my machine.  
     Has anyone ever experienced similar problems?  Does anyone know how the
machine ordinarily recognizes the end of tape?  Any clues to what the cause
of my problem is?
                                        Thanks in advance,
                                        Ed Friedman
