I realize that this is completely counter-intuitive and is a question coming from a complete newbie, but is it possible for a VHS transfer to come out with a cleaner final product than a LD transfer simply by virtue of the compressions for both? I don't know why, but VHS material that I see on fan preservation DVD's often looks great. Please don't throw anything at me - I'm just curious if anyone has done any comparison work, say the first 5 minutes of Star Wars ripped from Faces VHS vs. Faces LD.
