This filter is ok-ish... repeats too often and the noise effects are "too clean" (not blended in or whatever).,(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>), My impression was that it's a blend of VHS damage/downsampling and what younger users "expected" the filter to be like. So it's not meant to be a perfect imitation of VHS image quality. I agree it looks much cleaner that it should be.
