I dunno, you guys tell me... I volunteered to do it a couple years ago
because I have a ton of editing gear and can handle any format except
VHS-C, and because I'm really interested in seeing this tape happen.  This
is about the third time this subject has come up, and every time it gets
discussed people get all excited about it but don't send in any tapes.
So...

>- is this idea still alive ?

I guess.  What I'm thinking now is that we should wait until the summer's
shows are finished.  Jason C and I (at the very least) will be taking a
whole bunch of video at the Cincinnati meet on May 9th and possibly also at
Waterfest.  Probably half the active members of the list are going to be at
Cincy next month so it makes sense to base the list tape around that.

>- where can I send a tape ?

Send it to me!  I'll post my address again later in the summer when we're
ready to put a tape together...

I don't have any PAL decks :P  S-VHS is great though... I'd prefer to get
S-VHS, Hi8, or better yet DV although I'd be suprised if many ppl were into
that format at this point...

Perhaps, but seeing as I don't yet have a burner or a decent capture card,
this would have to be left to someone else if the demand was high enough...

Same here!!
