I don't think that's possible. I wish someone else would chime in but I believe the "flagging" you are referring to is purely digital and would not be a part of a VHS tape's options. I don't think VHS can even hold time code, that's why you can reset the timer on all those VHS decks out there. There is nothing there other than video signal.
