video speeds



Perhaps the discrepancy in video speeds you're observing (some videos being 
slight faster than others) is due to the fact that the USA and Europe use two 
different frequencies to control the speed of the tape in the machine.  I think 
Europe uses a 50Hz signal on tape and the US a 60Hz signal (thus European 
videos would run faster in the US).

I don't think this has anything to do with MCA (though they *are* cheap) trying 
to save 5 feet of tape per video.
