So can a 80s home pc with a tape drive play that video?

No, it would just be random gibberish to the computer.

No, it would just be random gibberish to the computer.

That is true of all signals, until an application is programmed and used to read it.

I don't know, that's a lot of hassle to find a place to store data "where nobody would ever think to look for it." I'm sure there are easier, more readily available and less expensive ways to hide data!

That's not the goal. The goal is watching otherwise well-informed people not see or understand how something works.


That pretty much explains it.
