yes, he's saying they only had film in 1963

A quick search (wikipedia) shows videotape existed in 1956, at $300/hr.

Just as an fyi, that's pretty massive tape used in a broadcast studio.

The first consumer video camera (camera that recorded to tape rather than film) wasn't until the BetaMovie in 1983 with VHS coming months later. Heck, _home_ video recorders were still 15-20 years off at the time.

thanks, I wasn't aware, although whether or not they had what vanusa was saying seemed obvious.

[vanusa]

Right - something for studios, not the man on the street.

What do you think TV is?

[the-dude]

TV is a video you can't rewind. Not the real thing.
