 @b448cda9 I have guys at work playing vhs movies. Do you know if the original movie tapes were better quality?

 @c215902f I just know from capturing by own home movies that the VHS tapes of family memories from the 80s survived better than the ones from the 90s in similar storage situations.

In terms of movies, the studio-released tapes will always be better than the quality recorded off of TV or cable
