Depends really. I have VHS episodes of Tales from the Darkside whose image quality is miles better than the DVD box set they sell at Best Buy. So too my VHS of Titanic.

It sure is nice to not have to rewind though.

Well for starters it was almost always on a square box TV the size coordinated for that resolution rather than widescreen or just large at all which makes it worse.

>>102225854
also this, if I know there's a 1080p out there of some old cartoon you bet your ass i'll try to find it but there isn't anything wrong with most 480p video, I used to watch TVrips of cartoons on fucking youtube no problem. Also, the blur has its own aesthetic, don't be picky and act like the image in the OP is that bad

Because we didn't give a fuck about quality, as long as we could enjoy the movie it didn't matter.

It was 480i, not 480p. It would never look jaggy or pixelated on a CRT and there was no compression and black levels were great.

Was it even 480p? That's closer to DVD resolution. Maybe it's not so much the resolution as the structure of the medium. They actually did have bluray quality VHS' in the early 90s. They weren't widespread obviously and didn't even become commercially available until the late 90s. It's pretty cool though.

480i, actually. The Playstation 1 for example, output video at 320x240.

It always cracks me up when people try to make a retro-seeming "VHS quality" video and make it in black and white and filled with silent movie graininess and lines. It makes me wonder how young some people actually are.

People have aversions to black and white movies too (or even old movies in general) because they associate them with shit quality since home media at the time was shit quality. It's nice having crisp bluray transfers of movies from the 60s and before.

You could get some crazy artifacts on VHS tapes though. I remember I rented the Matrix on VHS in the early 00s and it had weird green lines at points and extreme blurriness near the bottom edge of the frame.

They had movies released on them. The Wikipedia article on it (D-VHS) lists stuff like Die Hard and the Terminator along with a bunch of other movies. Nobody had it because it really wasn't easily available commercially and by that time DVD was starting to be a thing.

Nobody really gave aa fuck about picture quality until 2004

I tried watching some 70's sitcom and it was so fuzzy you could not make out the characters faces. They were all pink and brown blobs.

Worse than the blurriness, a lot of movies had to be edited to work with the 4:3 aspect ratio. So you'd have things cut off from the frame or even weird things like an originally widescreen scene of two people talking be changed to a 4:3 scene where the camera would move from person to person rather than have both people in frame at the same time.

It's more that they didn't know any better. The home technology just wasn't able to be as good as the technology used to shoot the show or the movies. Shows didn't have it as bad because they were made specifically for home viewing and knew what the tech was. Movies released in theatres had to be edited to work on VHS and with TVs being 4:3 in mind when theatres weren't 4:3.

I think part of the issue is our pattern completion ability got worse in this context because we don't need it as much.
