Did they use really bad tapes or VCRs when working with VHS to come up with these filters? VHS almost never looked nearly as bad as the filter would have you believe. VHS was standard definition, done using composite, and had poor color - but really it looked fine most of the time especially when played on an old tube television. This filter makes it look like the tape was copied to a new tape using SLP then someone pulled the tape out, cringkled it up, wound it back into the cartridge, then played it on a cheap 2 head VCR with dirty heads.,(reply>), This is VHS as it would look to someone from the 2000's not 90's
