Your revision about 8mm video
Hello, Martin.

I've undone your revision about the transport speed of 8mm video, because it did not have any references to support the claim made about fast-forward/rewind speed. Also, I suspect that the rewind time would depend largely on the hardware used, and also the hardware configuration. For example, see this FAQ about the Tascam DA-88, which mentions that the hardware can be configured for a fast-forward and rewind speed of 100x or 6x, which means that there is no one rewind speed for an 8mm video cassette, and suggests that the speed is strongly related to the hardware being used.

If you are able to provide references from a reliable source which describe the most typical transport/rewind speeds for 8mm video cassette, then please feel free to restore the new section about transport speeds and make sure to include those references.

If you need help adding references to an article, then see the Help page. If things still aren't clear then you can ask me a question here (though you'll probably get a quicker response if you see the "Stuck?" section of the help page, which gives advice on asking the community). --Bob (talk) 20:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
