I don't understand the obsession with making VHS look as terrible as possible, this 3 minute video has more static than any of my 4 hour record tapes!,(reply>), REMEMBER that most 1960s to Mid-90s TV shows were recorded or stored on analog tape (Umatic, Betamax, VHS, Betacam, S-VHS).  When released for sale to customers, they don’t look anywhere as bad as this VHS tape filter<br><br>.,(reply>), As somone who just made a bunch of dvds from family videos on Video8 and VHS-C, I have to say they werent this washed out.<br>VHS rarely seemed to have a clean stable picture, even in SP mode but that camcorder did record vivid colors.,(reply>), Some of my VHS tapes are literally unplayable. They are nothing but noise. Quality this bad easily happened all the time,(reply>), @NM Trindle - Gaming and More Where's the spam? I did not post this several times in a single thread, after all.,(reply>), Computerdude323 That’s not really it. I was born late enough that every picture taken of me was in potato digital or crisp, perfect analog, however, if you check out the burnt out, horrible, expired film pictures of r/polariod, you’ll see the aesthetic i simply adore! I don’t know why, but i feel a heavy, empty nostalgia for those brunt out pictures.
