VHS copied to VHS copied to VHS copied to VHS copied to VHS... (VHS Generation Loss Demonstration)

Hmmm how to do this digitally in video editor?

It reminds me of the music Album which ist supposed to give you a feeling of dementia

This video gives to me some "The Mandela Catalogue" and analog horror. Love that 💖

Multiplicity is a great example of this :) #4 was special.

dsid nolt askl

Why do i feel this is the answer to time travel.

Would've been great to also hear the degradation of voice in-between the extremes. You just went silent.

The problem with porn tapes. Even today there's a similar problem where videos get recompressed to the point that they're blurry and pixelated.

i'm sitting in a room from Alvin Lucier (1969)

did anybody else get really anxious like something terrifying was about to happen?

This reminds me of that music album inspired on dementia

Ah the sound of TV static soothes me.

Revel in the glory of the bank cctv cameras

ever heard of Alvin Lucier?

An $80 TIME BASE CORRECTOR (or one built-in to quality VCR's) or via your computer, would solve 95% of the generational losses. If you had used a four-head S-VHS machine, it would also improve the quality unbelievably. Master grade tapes (they used to cost about $20 each, now about $40) would also improve the "bounces" as dupes of dupes are called in the trade. Spend $400 for the AVID video editing software and hardware, and their will be NO generational losses. A Hi-Fi deck would cure the audio quality or the S-VHS uses digital sound without any loses. We won't even get into D-VHS or D-Beta-Maxes that I own three of used for commercials at a TV station until the ASTV change-over. I own two S-VHS decks and one D-VHS. I have S-VHS tapes recorded off-air that are 360 lines horizontal (native for broadcast NTSC) and 930 lines vertical with full-blanking from 1978 that look like new. I have one D-Beta and the D-VHS set-up for PAL system, which is FAR better quality and will play on my Bravia monitors.

man the eyes uggh

Would have been nice if you had kept on talking to hear the Audio loss as well …

Why did people not let AI fix the quality?

What a bullshit video. Adjusts the signal and says it’s VHS

So this is what the copy looked like that I put back into the rental store's VHS cassettes? Who'd of thunk?

Okay, that was horrifying.

Signal degradation is the reason why i totally hate all analog formats, but the pipe smoking hipsters are keeping these crap technologies alive

how tf do get a vhs tape onto a pc to post it am i retarted?

Pornos on vhs passed around at school became like this.

90's pr0n vibe from 5th generation onwards 👌

The Generation Z of this video looks like pure snow with no discernible information whatsoever. The quality never improves and if you move an earlier Generation, say Generation X near it, the degradation begins to affect that generation too. Its weird.

looks like you found a new edge detection system

Spooky ahh ending

Everywhere at the end of vhs.

I love how it also gets gayer for each level too.

waporwawe

Every analog horror video ever:

gays telling me about videotapes... dumbasses

When you can control your dementia:

This is creepy but fascinating

btw guys, this is the same that happens to your cells.

the effect it creates could honestly be used in pretty cool ways, if you switch between generations depending on what’s happening in your film or whatever

Signal? No, I need NOISE!

Compelling stuff 😂

This demonstrates the ageing process perfectly. A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy

The end of the video reminds me of trying to watch Cinemax as a kid at 2 a.m. when we didn't pay for that channel.

Generational Loss is a cool name for a preset.

Copy machines do the same thing, I once made a copy of a copy of a copy......until about the 50th or 100th generation, and it resulted in a very COOL distorted page!

This reminds me of The Caretaker's last album "Everywhere at the End of Time"

This guy is the Vsause of The Backrooms.

Dude looks like an AI created peson

I found an orriginal VHS of west world the other day, took it out of the box I found it in and put it in my room. Now I just need a VHS player.

Guy was morphing into a pixelated hobgoblin at the end
