Another Failed Recording (Opening to Rugrats: A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do 1996 VHS)

I don't understand why Paramount was cheap enough to use the EP/SLP speed for the Nickelodeon tapes. It seriously makes them way more vulnerable to damage. This was so badly damaged that my capture card couldn't keep up.
Previews in order:
1. Rugrats: Tommy Troubles and Phil and Lil Double Trouble promo
2. Paramount Family Favorites promo
3. Another Paramount Family Favorites promo
4. Feature Presentation bumper
5. Paramount Pictures logo
6. Nick bumper (alien)
7. Title card
Date code: 15th week of 1999?
Distributor: Paramount Home Video
I do not own any content in this video.

I loved seeing the hidden messages in the vertical interval- my Vizio TV would let you move the picture up to see them, but my current stuff doesn't.

[@failbob2000]

All of the Vizio TVs me and my family has owned (they're all from 2008 and 2009) all have that feature. I always wondered what exactly those things were, but honestly I wonder why Vizio even bothered to include that feature in the first place for inputs that weren't the VGA port.

That's some of the worst tracking issues I have ever seen on a tape.

[@WickerBasket9]

And this is pretty much why I prefer the SP mode over SLP/EP tape speed. Sure, you get more tape space up to eight hours (I managed to fit up to 12 when spliced together) in the SLP/EP tape speed, but the drawback? This video explains why.

[@ZeroDaMathematicalGenius]

Oh that’s bad all right

[@jessecoffey4737]

Looks a lot like some of the tapes from my mom that I have had to deal with at times, doesn't it?

[@loganw.3654]

Yeesh! SLP/EP really was a terrible format for VHS. It’s so bad here you can see the vertical scroll where the Macrovision Signal is!

[@ellamedrano1684]

The beginning of it is damaged, but the end of it is fine.

[@cartersvhscorner50]

OHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS SO BAD (Extremely Damaged Tape)
