My Panasonic NV-FS200 arrived today.

Off-topic (to this thread, at least): Do you plan to do a capture of that bootleg Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs VHS you have?

Leonardo, I think your NV-FS200 is the same of my NV-FS88, but yours has the TBC, IIRC... not a problem nowadays, if I need to capture VHS, I'll pass the output through a DVD recorder, and it will stabilizy the picture, right AntcuuFaalb?

I'm staying a bit off-topic too... why Snow White on VHS is so special? Is not the laserdisc - especially box set - better?

Every single home video release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs went through Disney's infamous re-animation process. This involves a lot of digital manipulation and results in a final product that doesn't look much like the original film.

The Italian bootleg VHS was dumped straight from a film print.

Also, if the NV-FS200 is anything like the AG-1980, then it's not just the TBC that's different. The AG-1980 is a much more robust machine than the AG-1970, for instance. It's capable of tracking even the worst VHS tapes (including PS78!).
