Noah: You sure this is a copy?
Rachel: Yeah. Why?
Noah: The numbers are all screwed up.
Rachel: Same problem got copied, I guess.
Noah: It's impossible. The numbers of the control track, they're put on the tape whenever it's recorded, which means, theoretically, there shouldn't be any images.
Rachel: Hey, Noah, can you pretend for one minute that I don't read Video Geek Magazine?
Noah: Okay, when you record a tape, the makeup of the tracks is like a signature for whatever did the recording, like a camcorder, VCR, whatever. So the control track can tell us where it came from. But to not have one, I mean, that's like being born without fingerprints.
