honestly the "pop lines" in the filter are way overexaggerated, it would seem more realistic if they only appeared once every 10-20 seconds. actual vhs tapes that aren't damage playing through a clean vcr won't do tha constnatly the way the filter appears. but then again, what people love most about dead analogue formats are their defects, so that may be a feature, not a bug.,(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...
