I'm really curious...but how much color loss would you imagine comes from a VHS tape from 1989/1990 if any? Every tape I own of the footage is the same....but a new version of the same music video is up on MTV/Veoh's site that has a lot more color saturation than anything I own. If there are no stills from 1989, how am I to know if this newer version is correct? Should I expect color loss on a promotional VHS version of the video? Any opinions would be appreciated.

 

Here's a screenshot

 

comparison.

Colors in a video on VHS tape don't "fade". It's magnetic tape, not film.

 

Besides look at your examples...which looks better to you? Your VHS example has better clarity and a natural looking color....IMO
