I agree 150%!!  I also find the appearance the of video by recording on an audiocassette 

very appealing, it has a raunchiness to it that you just can't get by other means. 



Im' not really for modifying (or butchering :-) ) my PXL for composite CVBS outputs so I can 

record to a standard camcorder, I want to keep my PXL as original and sacrosanct as possible :).  

That's also why I use audio tapes...

Hmm, I haven't seen this video, but I remember seeing a concert taped live on ABC late 

night tv once, some shots were taped with what looked like a PXL, with slight RF inter-

ference and all, but I don't remember what band it was though... :(  The picture looked 

like it was digitally zoomed in slightly to get rid of the black border...



I also remember similar-looking scenes in the old Nickelodeon tv show "Sk8 TV" back 

in the late 80's...  Hmm, could it have been a PXL, or just a really good effect made by

other means...



Totally agree about using the VCR, also... :)
