  It looks like you have little experience with VHS.  Have you ever taken
one apart and looked inside?  The transport mechanism is beautifully simple.
There should be no trouble with building such a machine for editing.
(I still would not want to recommend editing on a 1/2 inch machine.)

   Why do you claim that HQ is a bandwidth decrease?  While I would agree
that the increase in bandwidth is miniscule, if any, there is nothing I
have seen to indicate that there is a decrease in bandwidth.

  As for marketing departments, they seem almost identical with Sony.
Both sides of the VHS-C vs 8mm advertising looks more like a political
smear campaign.  No information, just lots of dis-information.
