VHS was never this bad, maybe home movies 🎥,(reply>), @Rena Kunisaki Especially if the DVD recorder/player was fairly old and does not work perfectly, that created all sorts of new and original artefacts in the image.,(reply>), TV recordings on cheap 6 hour tapes that had been reused a couple times, yeah, they could start to look like this.,(reply>), <b>COMING SOON TO OWN ON DVD AND VIDEO CASSETE</b>,(reply>), Those guys are AMERICANS! So in America they had a slight poorer VHS than we here in Europe. Their NTSC VHS was roughly equivalent to 333×480 pixels rather than our PAL VHS offered the equivalent of about 335×576 pixels.<br>While those filters might bring some nostalgic feeling to an american person, I guess a European one would only see a kind of way too bad retro imitation of what might have been the past...,(reply>), Professionally made tapes wouldn’t be, but a tape used over and over to record, yeah, that could get messy.
