What the heck is this 8-track/film cartridge I found?
Edit: Sorry, I need to make this a little more clear. It was a movie with audio about explaining death to your children, with a professional label and everything. I know what an 8-track is and it was definitely half an 8-track cassette, for the audio part of the movie I assume. The other part of the cartridge had actual 8mm film, not video tape. So the thing actually had separate things for audio and video. I wish I took a photo of it, but alas, I did not.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If there's no video system nearby, then it's most likely an early Muzak tape. These tapes also ran on a continuous loop. Muzak owned the early patent on audio transmission, so they had a ton of innovative, pioneering technologies.
The real test will be the size of the cassette case and the size of the tape. Almost all tape media from before 1980 is 1/2 inch or larger. If the tape in the case is less than 1/2 inch then it could be a modern product, like a DAT back-up tape. If the tape is 1/2 inch or larger then it could only be one of these two custom products.

Basically the 8-track tapes were not cost efficient and only stayed on the market when they were created with cheaper materials. Then when the compact disc was introduced they basically vanished and were banned to garage sales across the country.

Very informative site but unfortunately, they didn't have what I was looking for.
