Did anyone here see CBS  Sunday Morning yesterday?

Someone I work with at NBC named Lydia  was also interviewed about her 1986 
university video on EIAJ tape that she  can no longer play because there are no 
machines available to her to view it  with.  She said she hadn't seen the 
program on that tape in 20  years.



There ARE a number of working EIAJ machines around the country... so she  CAN 
get her tape transferred to something she can both view it from and use to  
edit, should she want to do that.


VidPax has that sort of equipment. 


This  situation is almost as bad as throwing the Carson tapes away.  If you  
have nothing to play them on, you can't archive them for the future.   And 
there's no such thing as a permanent storage medium.


Dennis Degan,  Editor-Consultant-Knowledge Bank
  NBC Today Show, New  York





That's one of the major reasons for the existence of the Quad Videotape  
Group: Preserving Tape, Equipment and the Knowledge to use them.


That, have fun doing it and socializing along the way.


Speaking of that, don't forget... Tuesday, April 21, 12:30 p.m.:  Second 
Annual Lunch at NAB.  
Location being arranged.
