[QuadList] quad videotape stock question

[David Dean]

There is one other problem, Audio tape (Ampex 456 ) is a lot thicker, so it
will not run successfully on a Quad machine, it is not flexible enough to
take up the guide shape. The hint is that a large roll of 456 is 1 hour in
duration at 15ips, where as a roll of Video is 90 mins.

I was just asked a question that I couldn't answer with certainty and knew
the best answer with the science to back it up would be found here.

Can 2" tape stock designed for 24 track ATRs be used as quad tape stock. If
so, what problems might be encountered - and if not, why not?

Back in the day, we all heard of a guy who knew a guy who used non-standard
tape stock, but I never saw any actual first-hand data.

Any answers from my quad brethren?

It's been lovely but I have to scream now.
