With the copy protection defeated, it would look like any movie. It would either be square (4:3) if it is not stretched, or widescreen (16:9) if it is. However, without the copy protection defeated, the picture will be shaky and flashy. It will constantly get lighter and darker. With the sound, the HiFi will not work, and the tape will play with normal sound. This might cause a humming or hissing sound. This makes for an unpleasant viewing experience, and it sometimes is unwatchable. Sometimes, it might not even record if it picks up copy protection.
