I have the real VHS and I can assure you that you're not going to get a better image out of it. MeBeJedi knows what he's doing when it comes to video encoding and compression and that's the best it's going to look on a single-layer DVD. It probably won't look much better on a dual-layer. The degredation of the VHS made it very hard to compress properly. Think about it, it creates a lot more movement and a lot more random colors than would have been present in the film otherwise. Basically what I'm saying is you should really know wtf you're talking about before you talk.
