My advice: Try to record at the highest possible bitrate you can get with your capture card, or go even lossless. Then you can convert it with a good MPEG encoder, like HCenc (which is free btw). A resolution of 352x576 (or 352x480) should be enough as the (analog) limit of VHS equals to about 240x576 (240x480).

I've also replaced the (mono!) audio of the VHS with the CD audio, except of course for the little bits in between which I left there. They fade in and out of the CD audio now.

Has Footwear Repairs also just mono audio? My copy of Kiteless is mono, on the mono and on the hi-fi stereo track.

i knew if you had a high bitrate it would be better for encoding,
but why such a low resolution? shouldn't you be able to do it
larger? (or just scale it up?)

also, if you're watching on a monitor, it won't look as good,
as if you output to a tv screen, right?

how many parts were there between the tracks?
each video....its been a long time since i've heard it...

thanx for the tips...

i need to try to re-encode it..

also, i have a promotional video for the entire
'beaucoup fish' album, but they loop some
concert footage, and studio footage..its not
that great..but its interesting to watch..

later
