When synch'ing sound and picture, there are two things that must be
considered:
1) The sound recorder and the picture must run "at the same speed" to
maintain synch. This, the most basic requirement, was often handled in

Hey. Just to add to this thread without getting into the Sharp VS Sony
debate...
I actually thought about using my MD recorder (Sharp 722) for film work use
also, and thought of something.
Lots of people use TIME CODE-abled DATs to do this kind of work, and I was
wondering if the MD would be

analog cassette tape.

Did you ever get the feeling that there is actually an "anti MD" faction in
Evening, all.
Look, just a quick question - I was at a meeting tonight, and a fellow
there wanted to make short films, and was looking for a portable sound
recording source. I offered to lend him my Sony MZ-R37, and he said that
"MD sounds like shit, it's no good for recording audio for film
Sounds like he's been spewed at by someone who has no idea what they're
talking about.
I'd come back with "Have you ever actually listened to MD?" and then
place my headphones on his head.
