I recently repaired a high end Mitsubishi Super VHS unit (with the
jog/shuttle type of remote that I prefer). I now have two working high
end editing units, and a dead one for parts. I'm still doing analog
video, with a S-VHS-C camera. For some reason, editing frame by frame
with two remotes feels more natural than going digital. But the next
time something breaks? I'll probably go digital. S-VHS tapes are even
getting hard to find. And now that I have HDTV, I'd be able to
appreciate more lines of resolution. S-VHS kept up with prior broadcast
quality, looks as good as many DVDs, but has finally run its time.


Dunno. I'm totally digital now, and I do it all on this puter.
I was so glad to get away from VHS tapes.. They are horrible
as far as lasting a long time.. Get the edge crinkles, etc..Drove
me nuts..
Editing with digital is just as precise as tape, and I'm just clicking
my mouse to go from frame to frame.
I don't have a full HDTV tuner, but it's pseudo HDTV.. 720x480 if I
remember right. So for all practical purposes it looks nearly HDTV
on this puter, cuz I run high res desktops. I can't even watch a
regular
TV anymore because it looks like a dot matrix puzzle to me..
You can stick your nose right up to my picture, and barely notice
any pixels. They are so tiny they just blend together..
I'm also using digital as far as the video camera now, vs the
old sony mini tapes. I think it's also 720x480...
DVD's take less room than VHS tapes, but even DVD's can stack
up after a while, and a large case of them is fairly heavy..
I've burned 100's of DVD's.. I record loads of movies off cable.
Then I come back later and edit the commercials out, and burn
em to disk. Some I record are uncut, letterbox, etc, but just
depends on the source..
Anyway, I could never go back to tape video... One thing I like
about DVD's, as long as you don't bugger one up, they play
just as well after 200 plays , as they do the first..
Tapes? :(
I'll be shooting some more video this weekend. I'm going up
to Oklahoma tomorrow night, and the trees are in full living
color right now. I've been watching them on webcams...
So I'm gonna go kick back a couple of days and eyeball
the color. Should make for some good videos..
I've got video I've taken at various times of the year. You can
switch between them and see the differences in the plants,
trees, etc.. IE: in July, the place was loaded with colorful
wildflowers all over the place. Had a lot of rain before that..

This is the first vid I took using that camera.."JVC"
**Warning: boring home movie content** :/
http://home.comcast.net/~nm5k/7-8-07-1.wmv
Note.. big 67meg file.. Need broadband...

Of course, that video is greatly degraded from the original
when converted to the way smaller "broadband" wmv..
But it still looks fairly sharp at 100%. It's still watchable
at 200%, but a tad blurry in spots..
That was July 8..I was just walking around the "camp"
area of my property, and the gate and driveway leading
in. Loads of flowers.. That Darth Vador sounding noise
as I pass my car is my ham radio sitting under that
towel.. "Icom IC-706mk2g".
I've got 5 acres there, but haven't built anything.. I just
use it as my little private park where I can go live with
the critters and bugs. Nice place to go melt the cheeze..
Lake Eufaula is about 1800 ft to the north and west
of that property. Most of the property is wooded, but
I have a cleared area where I shot the vid..
I call it "the living area"... :/
You see some cedar trees down.. That was from the
killer ice storm in Jan.. I've been slowly whacking
away at them with my chain saw..
Check the "park bench" made of three rocks.. :/
This weekend the trees will be all tecknicolor... :)

BTW, yea I know my car looks kinda woosafied for
a Texas/Oklahoma redneck, but that sucker nurses
fuel at the rate of a gallon per every 40-41 miles..
It's a 900 mile round trip from studio T to studio O
and back.
My old trucks would cost me a fortune in petrol..
