@foone Ahhh, you’re recreating the 80s anime club experience.

@foone Ooo. I've always wanted to pick up one of those, specifically to set up video-VHSification-as-a-service.

@compucat yeah, I've thought about doing the same!

It'd revolutionize all these analog horror makers and their shitty VHS filters :)

@foone honestly the thing that stops me is content filtering and output caching. we all know what the internet will do with a Free Data space...

human-vetting input is the gold standard but has obvious problems.

@foone sounds like a good opportunity to get a linear editing controller and experience what it was like to edit video back in the good old days (and why everyone switched to non-linear editing as soon as the hardware became affordable and the software caught up).

@foone this sounds like something SkyCorp Home Video would be interested in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-AmcFucl6E

Ummm...why?

I remember borrowing the neighbor's VCR to dupe the one porn tape the teenagers could get and watching that grainy stuff, but...why? Slumming? Recapitulating extinct hassle?

@foone
OK, sure. But the important question is, what are you going to use for generation 0?

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

@mip perhaps a music video for some late 80s dance-pop

@foone There was a really excellent video on youtube iirc showing the degradation, generation by generation, but it sure would be interesting to see it happen seamlessly.
