Even as someone who grew up in the 90s, I cannot understand the nostalgia for this. I'm curious if in another ten or twenty years horribly compressed 320 by 240 internet video will be nostalgic to people.,(reply>), I'm 20 and I love to randomly compress videos in mjpeg, mpeg-1 and stuff like that to see the artifacts,(reply>), Another method to define resolution is bandwidth.  VHS carries 3 megahertz.  S-VHS or laserdisc is 5 megahertz.  DVD is 7 megahertz (when converted to analog for CRT display).  For USTV all standards have a fixed 480i vertical resolution<br><br> but the horizontal resolution varies.  3 MHz obviously carries less horizontal info than 6 MHz<br><br>.,(reply>), VHS converted to modern digital resolution is 320 x 480 (interlaced frames).  S-VHS or laserdisc is 530x480i.  DVD is 704 or 720x480i<br><br>.,(reply>), "240 vertical lines"   PLEASE STOP REPEATING THIS.  It’s wrong.  The official VHS spec is “240 lines of horizontal resolution per picture height”.   Not vertical.<br><br>For comparison laserdisc or Super VHs is rated 400 lines of horizontal resolution per picture height.  DVD is 500 horizontal… How do I know?  I’m a broadcast/ electrical engineer.,(reply>), US-VHS is 480i same as the broadcast standard<br><br>.
