	Using a security system VCR will yield just what it was designed for.
A single frame of the robber holding up your store. It does not attempt to
animate. (Unless you want to see frames of the robber getting holes,
ala ROBOCOP). It just does not work. To do single frame animation, you have
to pre-roll and record. (Unless you don't care about vertical glitching or
frame continuity) And if your trying to do it with VHS, forget it.
VHS uses a cheap and sloppy motion control. The only exception may be a VCR
reported in Electronic Engineering Times, I think by Panasonic(Matshushita)
using the same proven and true Beta Drive. (And Professional). Good luck
since you will need a lot.
