RE: VHS Renaissance

Posted by bassbinotoko on July 12, 2013 at 00:04:35:
The sound quality ought to be very good, if the tapes are Hi-Fi and the deck is working properly. I did own a Zenith VCR that made annoying purring sounds... it got stolen before I got around to RMAing it. Subsequent VCRs sounded fine, and I recorded a bunch of live DJ sets on them since I had nothing else that could record 6 hours uninterrupted.

I've been looking out for certain titles on VHS where the DVD (and Blu-ray) versions had the soundtracks altered because someone was too cheap to license the original music. My hope would be to add a PCM stereo track to an mkv taken from the DVD or Blu-ray, but I expect there'd be problems with synch.
