Stupid VCR tricks

Post by sigflup »

So it turns out that if you flip the tape inside your VHS cassette around and play it the image is flipped upside-down, really. You'd think a vcr would be too complex to get anything from flipping a tape upside down but it actually works. The color is gone, most likely because the color burst is in the wrong place, but other then that it's pretty good. No sound because the audio track is on the other side. I'm not sure what's on the control track but apparently it being gone is not a problem for my vcr Diagonal tracks are in the right place and everything. Now how to turn this into profit? :?

You remove the two reels from the box and swap them?
