how much does "quick Play" VCR Matter ?

[rodling]

*edit* already figured out the answer from my own research so thanks anyway trolls.

Have some old tapes I want to digitize, does anyone know how much it matters if it's a "quick play" VCR or not, in terms of how much
it will impact digitization or playback ?

"quick play" has nothing to do with the playback. It just means that when you stop your play, the tape remains pulled out of the cassette and wrapped around the drum with the heads. This way you can start playback instantly.
VCRs without that feature just retract the tape back into the cassette, so it would take more time to start playing back again.
If you're choosing a VCR for your digitizing process, there are other, way more important parameters and features, like s-video output and TBC.

Yeah but my question was not about s-video or TBC it was about quick play.......

Well sort of but it was mainly about how much it matters if the goal was to capture it in the best quality.

I said "quick play has nothing to do with the playback".
I don't see any ambiguity or understatement here. It's not difficult to deduce that if there is no effect on playback, then there is no effect on capture.

quick play has 100 percent to do with playback given, as the name suggests, it is literally about how a tape is played. Look man if you're gonna act all snotty then you don't have to help ok very simple.

OK.
Could you please provide your version of what exactly "quick play" means?
Preferably with references to the sources, like manuals.
Thank you.

Anyway.....I was reading some material that says due to how VCRs with quick play internally handles the actual tape compared to other VCRs without it there may be some impact but wondering if any experience.

*edit* yeah not sure what axe this other use has to grind but I'm not here to prove myself to anyone if they don't approve of my question.

Well, do you still have access to these materials?

There is nothing wrong with your question.
What I find is wrong, is that you're saying that I'm wrong (which is possible), but you don't provide anything to support your claim.

I don't think you're in a position to tell another user to get lost.
And no, I'm here not to teach anyone to anything. I'm here to share my experience. You don't like it? Just ignore me. Plain and simple.

Quick play feature has absolutely nothing to do with digitization, playback or recording, The way it works has already been explained in post #2, If you are confused with another feature that it may bear a similar name or function please describe it in more details or reference a material.

Some people like to know so much that they send out messages that just give out nothing new like fast loading is so great that it is the best thing for vcr's,all it does is play the tape a little faster,this thread is closed.
