If anyone wants to know something rare, I got this death without the beep from a UK video

@channel4squares1 On which tape do you have this white screen you speak of?

[channel4squares1]

@ryanasaurus0077 it's from a UK Release of Tots TV Big Treasure Adventure

I dont mean to be rude, but I think I missed the point of this vid...

The supposed "white screen of death" is probably on the end of the recording they were mass producing, to tell the engineer to stop the machines. The white noise is unrecorded, unerased tape - randomly magnetised particles. Any strange frequencies might have been used to calibrate recording/playback equipment.

Skip to 1:00 to save seconds.

[ryanasaurus0077]

@corbinpettyband I don't know what tape he got this from, but I do know this was duplicated by Rank Video Services America.

Thanks for uploading this.

I've got some VHS tapes where the white noise/static goes on for longer than 6-8 minutes. Some where its 1 to 2 minutes and some where it doesn't appear at all.
