If you have a video tape that has the brown film chewed up or tangled inside, you can't use it again. The main possible reason why your video tape got chewed up or tangled is because the head on your VHS player is probably been magnetized from other video tapes your have inserted into it. You are supposed to use a demagnetizer cassette to prevent this to happen, so remember next time!
Instructions:
1)Get hold of the video tape that is chewed or tangled up.
2)Then you will need to open to flap that exposes the film to the head inside the video player. This can be done by inserting it into a video player, however in this sort of situation that can't be done, so on each corner of the flap, you will notice small square buttons, one placed on each side of the video tape. Using your finger nails, push down both square buttons and then pull the flap upwards.
3)Next get a screwdriver and insert it into the small hole, found in the middle of the tape, right at the bottom. Make sure you push the screwdriver so it pushes back the key located inside the tape.
4)Then turn the left roll in the clockwise direction, stop turning it when the film is no longer in a tangled mess and is returned back into the video tape.
