It might help place the thing if I knew better when you were a kid :-)

But in truth I don't know what that could have been. Sony once sold a  
unit for recording high-quality audio on a VCR, it basically put 4  
tracks of PCM audio onto a B+W video signal. We used to use them for  
Radio remote by feeding this ersatz "video" through Macom 23Ghz. Video  
microwave links.

Maybe it was an 8mm system, but I don't recall any pre-recorded movies  
ever being released on that format.
