A VHS of this I taped from broadcast is bopping around my parents’ basement somewhere. I need to find that.

- kennyloginz 2y agoAwesome! Please share if you are able to recover it.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoI wonder if content on VHS tape can be read and/or post-processed better than the best Toshiba or Sony (PAL|NTSC) VCR in history using fancier techniques and modern technology.

- actionfromafar 2y agoWas about to say that.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoAwesome, thanks. I guess one just needs benchmarks of the sensitivity of various compatible hardware solutions.
- stavros 2y agoI wonder if the newer reading technology offsets the degradation of the magnetic tape, or whether it's better to digitize X years ago, using the older digitizing technique, but with a stronger magnetic signal.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoEvery time it's played, there is mechanical wear on the tape surface and mechanical stretching to place it under tension. Probably always best to digitize it then because there's quite a bit that can happen to tape magnetically and to the plastic tape itself.
