I'm Grateful for tapes that have 8 hours on them Ever since this length has been created it makes it better than the prior footage ones created of 6 and 7 1/2. So if I feel 8 is enough and when 9 isn't as necessary then I'm grateful enough as it is. So this why i bought a couple time from here as much this 3 pack as the singles of the 9 hours speed.
