Actually, forget using S-VHS tape. They're still about $7 a pop anyway. I have been drilling the two 1/4" marker holes on the bottom of regular ol' VHS tape, about a buck apiece, and the DSR100 accepts them as full up digital tape. Been doing this for several weeks, archiving about 40 movies, and it has worked perfectly, including the surround sound track. This is the magic of digital signals; it either works fine or it doesn't, and in this case it works.
