Hi-
If you are still trying to test these tapes, I recommend that you try making your own recording on one or more of them, using the BI or BII speed on your VCR. If your own recordings look OK, then you know that the original recordings were just somehow highly incompatible with your machine; this can happen.
One example of mis-matched recording could be a SuperBeta recording (especially in the BIII speed) played on an earlier Beta VCR. They are supposed to be compatible, but maybe they are not.
Let us know what you find out.
