The main difference, I think, would come from the initially greater
color depth and bandwidth of D1/Abekas. I realize that VHS reduces
all that to a lower resolution and narrower bandwidth, but you're
giving the VHS tape more color information to start from. I'm no
expert, though. I would invite a video proffessional in on this
thread to set me straight (not that I don't trust you, or anything…
<g>). One thing we definitely agree on is that it all looks equally
bad. VHS really sucks. And while we're on the subject… what's
with NTSC anyway <g>?! <dg>.
