FLAME ON
Funny thing about that -- MOST machines support special effect only in 
the slowest speed as if EVERYBODY records at slowest speed.  I, and a hand-
full of my friends are quality freaks.  If it is worth seeing, it is worth
seeing well.  We find that we have to buy the most expensive decks available
just to be beta-scan (or equivalent in VHS) at the high speed.  JVC does not
support this on any deck!  Amazing!  What does it take to give special effects
at a particular speed?  Does it really cost a lot extra?
FLAME OFF

I don't know if NTSC is the best television in the world (-:), but I do
know that mom and pop have a lot of fecal contaminants on their 6-hour
tapes recorded on no-name stock.
