It's my industry. At the start, here in Australia, when they became available, they were both as atrocious as each other. Later on, when they started to give moderately decent pictures, they were as good as each other. Later still, VHS was definitely better (picture quality-wise, and sound quality-wise), though the margin of difference was only moderate. Mostly, that was down to the slightly faster tape speed of VHS, when both machine types were running in the same recording mode (e.g. 3-hour recording length on E180 tapes). You get better signal-to-noise on audio and video with the faster speed, and had less cross-talk between video tracks. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
