VHS camcorder Frame rate ?

[arielman]

I searched the post for this , nothing .
I thought this might be of interest . I recently taped some test footage ( 24P) with my DVX . Using Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus I captured the footage and dropped it into the time line .OK...just for the heck of it I opened a captured file (video captured with a VHS camcorder in 1992 ) then dragged a clip into the 24P time line ..No problem .
While watching the VHS footage , I noticed it neither looked like 60i or 30P , which brings me to my question ..at what frame rate did the old VHS camcorders capture at ? Thought I'd ask ...Ian

NTSC format if i am not mistaken is 60i...

to be exact, 29.97 interlaced frames per second.

Thanks for the replies...Interesting ..The 60i captured with my DVx certainly looks different than with the VHS camcorder ...The DVX looks LIVE whereas the Tape looks somewhere in between , another look is required I guess ..thanks again ....Ian
