---------------------------------VIDEO.80.V6-----------------------------------
---------------------------The Videotape Organizer-----------------------------
. VIDEO.80.V6 allows you to organize a sizable collection of videotapes.
It will quickly find space for any new show which you want to record. In
addition you will be able to track and manage the catalog of existing shows.
. VIDEO.80.V6 is designed to support a collection of up to 300 tapes and
up to 800 separate shows.
+
. SETTING UP YOUR FILE
. Each VIDEO.80 can be customized for the particular VCR you have.
You will need to have this information.
. Maximum Recording Time of your VCR
. Tape Counter Values
. The tape counter values will be used by VIDEO.80 to estimate the
ending tape counter value when you add a new show. You will have to know
the value of your machine's tape counter at the end of every ten-minute
interval. This will require recording a full-length tape at SP (or B1) speed
and noting the counter values at each ten-minute interval.
. You don't have to know these tape counter values before you begin to
explore VIDEO.80. You may estimate a set of counter numbers since you are
allowed to update this information later if you want.
. VIDEO.80.V6 requires that you number your tapes 1 through 300. The
use of other marking systems is not supported.
