O.K.  The way I extracted TM data from an 8mm tape was to first use 
m.examine.tape to find out what my rows and columns were.

file 1
	 len: records
	1536: 1 - 1
file 2
	 len: records
	4480: 1 - 2240
file 3
	 len: records
	4480: 1 - 2240

...etc...
len is the number of columns and records is the number of rows. The first file
is the header and should be skipped.

I then used i.tape.other to extract the data.  In the Generic Tape Extraction
menu, answer the following:

tape layout
    1		number of tape files to be skipped
    0		number of records in remaining files to be skipped

band files
    7		number of bands on the tape
data format
    x		band sequential (BSQ) | mark one with an X
		band interleaved (BIL)|
    0		if you select BSQ format and all the bands are in a single file
		enter the total number of records in the file. Otherwise enter      4480	length (in bytes) of the longest record on the tape

When you are asked to select the window to extract use the row and column data
from m.examine.tape:

start row:1
end row  :2240

start col:1
end row  :4480

Everything else is pretty straight forward.  Seems to have worked fine for
me.  Hope this helps.
