Abstract

A magnetic recording medium comprising a nonmagnetic flexible substrate, a magnetic layer provided on the surface of the substrate and containing ferromagnetic grains dispersed in a binder, and a back layer provided on the back surface of the substrate. The magnetic recording medium has a stiffness (S.sub.TD) of 6.0 or less. The friction coefficient (.mu..sub.B) of the back layer surface with respect to the axial direction of a loading post in a video tape recorder is controlled to satisfy the condition: EQU 0.ltoreq..mu..sub.B .ltoreq.0.1S.sub.TD -0.05 so as to make the magnetic recording medium highly resistant to damage due to movement in a video tape recorder.
