Dennis -
It was the first generation of SX deck that REALLY stunk. So bad that Sony
actually took ours back. 2nd Gen was pretty stable.

Unfortunately, in real-world conditions, Beta IMX videotape would not hold
up to repeated shuttling, pausing on one spot, reverse running, etc.
Nowadays, as a file format, IMX is amazingly robust.
I now say:
Oops, I just noticed that I've confused Sony's IMX format with their older
SX format. SX was the dog. IMX seems to have held up pretty well, even to
this day. SX . . . not so much. I incorrectly attributed IMX as being
Long-GOP. It is not. SX however is Long-GOP.
This is why it pays to refresh your memory before posting. ;)
