In Reply to: Is the ever-present motion artifact 'problem' an incurable situation? posted by centurymantra on April 02, 2004 at 07:07:25:
Well... this is why I still use VHS tapes. DVD sucks and it will continue to suck. Actually what is coming is even worse. Remember MP3??? You are going to get same in Video now.
DVD has never aproached, even close, picture qiality of a good VCR.
Sorry, you are cought in the game and you will not ascape. You will keep being frustrated more and more as you realise things that we engineers knew since first idea of DVD begun. I told people then that DVD is going to be worse than a tape. Can you believe they still say I don't know what I'm talking about. How long does it take for a horse to understand something? Answer... forever.

All I can say is, you've never watched a 480p up conversion to 720p or 1080i on a Samsung DVD-HD1000. If you had, you'd eat your words dude, that's for sure even on a 100" front projection system.What's amazing is, you didn't even say S-VHS. About anybody knows that S-VHS is capable of more lines of resolution on NTSC via S-video than standard VHS via composite video.
Frankly, either way, the comparison is a joke. DVD wins hands down even in 480i. Are you sure you plugged your DVD player up in your comparison?
That doesn't even take into consideration every time you play a VHS tape it degrades in quality. With DVD, the laser never touches the disc.

Ever since then came out with color, television was ruined. That color artifact screws around with the monochrome signal and all one gets is a rainbow blur. And VHS still carrying the color signal in the tape, it ruins everything. I still use the Fisher Price recorder, which holds the image in black and white.
You MUST be kidding. How do you feel about laserdiscs?
Sorry, never had a chance to test one.
No problems...looks like a movie. Heh...video tape...troll? Fisher Price! LOL!
No motion artifact, no 3/2 reverse telecine studder. Pure pleasure.
Most people are surprised that LD is an older technology than video tape. It was always a niche product with only about 2 million players
in U.S. households. But the picture is MUCH better than tape and since it's an analog medium does not have the problems you seem to be bothered with regarding DVDs. That said, and having a colection of 900 laserdiscs and 600 DVDs, I prefer DVDs.
Laser disc always was and always will be the best quality you will ever see on a crt, rptv, lcd, plasma or fptv...Blacker blacks, whiter whites, much more neutral skin tones, and true 525 line capability all add up to mean Pioneer knew what they were doing. Hook one up to a good line doubler and you have better quality than a cheap movie theatre any day. Too bad the world is full of lazy people who didn't like to get up to flip the disc..or you'd all be bragging about the quality.Obviously my vote goes to the Laser Disc.
Many of the later players play two sides, often enough for a 2 hour CLV LD.
