I'm not sure what

The length of a tape is usually stamped on the
side of the tape. Tape length is in minutes - such as
"180" - would mean a 3 hour tape ( 60
minutes x 3hours = 180minutes ). If you have a tape, for example, a 120 minute tape (2
hours) and only have about 60 minutes of video on it
(but you're not too sure) it is better to use the length stamped on the tape. |
