I think his VHS tape is first generation, which shows in the clarity of his edges and chroma integrity. But his lack of noise reduction and mediocre MPG encode really hurt what is essentially a good source.
Mine is a second gen VHS and no amount of cleanup is going to fix that.
The solution would be to get his VHS in the hands of someone who really has good capture and cleanup skillz. I'll post on to his torrent and maybe he'll see it.
Still, far and away, his is better than nothing! I'll keep seeding.
