Well, true, there is no BHF audio "track", if you wish to get pedantic about it; I was using the term because it was easier than saying "the BHF audio portion of the video signal". The mono audio track is indeed a separate track, written longitudinally along one edge of the tape (the other edge is used for control signals). --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
