Do you say "recording" or "taping"?????

[yoda313]

Hello,

Ok know we're fully into the digital age with dvd recording and dvr's.

Do you still use the analoge "TAPING"????? Or the correct term "Recording"????

Also - Technically there is no more "Rewinding" since it's digital (for cds/dvds of course). But who still uses the term????

Kevin

(I still mainly use my vcr since I have a weak antenna hooked up to the caputure card so I say "taping")

recording,even when using tape. I remember in the 70's when my grandparents would refer to my atari 2600 cartriges as tapes

Hello,



Cartridges are NOT tapes - that's a horrible mistake for them to make...

Even though cartridges may contain tape. Odd.

Drives me crazy when people call CDs or DVDs tapes. I hear that constantly...

"...so I put the tape in the DVD player..."

[lordsmurf]

Always used "recording" ... for video or audio, analog or digital

Use "capture" only for computer capture card.

[Capmaster]

I always used to use "taping" but now, thankfully, that term is fading.

My wife always says "taping" when referring to a recorder capture she has set on the timer. but she always gets a frustrated look on her face and corrects herself with "I mean ....recording"

[hech54]

Yea but both my VCR and my DVD Recorder have RECORD buttons....

Those days are far behind us now! :P

Oh, I say recording.

But today we don't really say tape after those.

Back in the olden days we would say 8-track tape.

For example.....

If you were cruisin' around in your Dodge Superbee, with Holley
double-pumpers, Hooker headers, Crager SS double-slots,
Mickey Thompson trick slicks, Crane cams, Edolbrock high-rise,
and a Hurst Slapshot, you would say, "Did you bring any 8-track tapes.

Hello,

I disagree - I think most of us still call them "VIDEOTAPES"

True, but not "Video Cassette tapes".

In a few years, (10 or 15) we won't have to worry about tapes......maybe!

I would say 8-track Cassette.

[Goober57]

I would say 8-track Cassette.

That's funny.
I've never heard an 8-track called a cassette!!!

It isn't really a cassette. Just a big wheel with tape
wrapped around it. Only travels in one direction too!

Makes a big mess if you accidently pull the tape out!

Yoda, sorry about ripping-off your thread!!! Hello.....

No problem. It was actually pretty close to the subject matter. The whole "analog to digital" transition we're going through

Same here. "Cassettes" were a different animal ...newer and all that. And nobody combined the terms. It was either "8-track" or "cassette"

Let me remind you, young whelp, that I was installing an 8-track in my 1966 Olds F-85 to go cruising for pussy right about the time you were having your ass slapped by a doctor

I hadn't done the "young whippersnapper" rant in a while ...it was time.

Come to think of it Zook ...that did sound like something Shatner would say

I still have 1 8-track left. The very first one I bought. Yes Drama

You never called an 8-track a cassette

[bazooka]

You never called an 8-track a cassette

How would you know?

You don't even know me, or what my childhood was like, so you are not in any position to tell me what I did or did not say. You were not there.

[hech54]

Weren't cassettes called 4 Tracks when they first came out? I distinctly remember the term "4 Track" when I was a kid.

Easy, Bazooka. He was using the term "you" to refer to people in general ...as in "you just don't do that sort of thing". He wasn't referring to you presonally.

Hech54 - Yep. Early on they had 4-tracks briefly. They had two simultaneous songs on the tape instead of the four you get with 8-track. They didn't last long before 8-tracks killed them off

[Goober57]

presonally

Finally!
