Abstract: A tape cassette for use with a video tape recorder has conventional tape guiding and braking elements within its housing, including a pair of spaced guide pins for the tape adjacent each reel and a resilient strip that acts on the tape between the spaced guide pins and normally tends to deflect the tape from a straight path between the spaced guide pins for braking the tape when the cassette is not in use. A drag member is provided that contacts the tape when it is deflected to provide a tortuous path for the tape and thereby increase the resistance to tape movement.
