A crappy implementation, at least for cheap video and DAT. From pause to
record there usually (perhaps always) is a delay and after a while pause
automatically switches to stop, or at least should do it or do something
else to protect the material. To get everything in perfect sync _and_
ready for record/punch in, SMPTE sync usually is done by starting a few
seconds before the punch in. To get members of a band in sync is done in
a similar way, somebody e.g. knocks with drumsticks, IOW for recording
we humans also don't start with the recording directly after switching
from pause to record play, we listen for at least one bar (at 120 BPM
it's 2 seconds), before we start playing the instrument we want to
record.
