Silver Emulsion Question VHS Tapes

[cassysj]

This is really weird but I'm trying to find out if silver emulsion or silver nitrate exists on VHS-C tapes from the 1980's. I have been looking on the internet and I've read the Super 8 film of the 60's and 70' did include silver nitrate so the moonlight vamps would not appear clearly on a film. I think the VHS is analog magnetic and I would think that the Moonlight vamps would be able to appear clearly but if no one know the scientific answer I'd like opinions so I can decide what direction to take my story.

Thanks.

Just giving this a bump because after another day of looking for facts my head is If anyone has any opinions I'd love to hear them.

Silver emulsion is used in the photographic process. VHS tape is magtape, which is not a photographic process. I couldn't find any mention of silver in connection with magnetic tape.

Here's the Wikipedia article on magnetic tape: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape
