Dans certains ouvrages, on veut restreindre l'usage du terme «cassette» au format standard (102 x 63 x 8 mm); d'un autre côté, «cartouche coplanaire» semble plus générique et peut comprendre les «maxi-cassettes» de Sony, etc. "Cassette" est normalisé par l'AFNOR avec le sens plus générique de «cartouche coplanaire». 5, record 1, French, - cassette

La cassette du magnétoscope à cassettes Philips (...) a été conçue pour contenir une bande d'une durée maximale d'une heure (...) Le fait que les deux bobines soient placées dans la cassette présente les mêmes avantages que l'audio-cassette compacte, c'est-à-dire que l'on peut enlever la cassette à n'importe quel moment sans avoir à la rembobiner. 1, record 2, French, - audio%2Dcassette%20compacte
