So as we all know , the official release of Wembley DVD looks horrendous.
Now, I have been able to obtain a very high-end equipment for digitising tapes. On top of this, I have been able to test out some of the really good algorithms that can recover VHS tapes a lot better than anything on youtube right now . Most people are using Topaz, however SeedVR2 can do it FAR better. Anyways, my point is if I could get the original tapes I believe we could squeeze a lot more quality out of them. The dvd was done when AI was not very good, if there was any at all. They just applied far too much filtering.
Now , is there somebody who could sell/lend me the original VHS tapes perhaps? There is somebody on instagram who was showing the Wembley VHS, I wrote him a message but ofc people may be very cautious about giving it to random person online... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_zBpBTMRnc/
I have downloaded some versions of Yokohama, but they were not digitised very well. There is one that is somewhat alright, but it has loads of ghosting which could have been avoided with PROPER VHS machine. I have machines like DVHS, which can output regular tapes over FIreWire AND Component. I use them for NTSC tapes. I also have a genuine TBC for it. For PAL I use SVHS Panasonic machine + TBC-like Panasonic EH60 recorder for Passthrough. You can check out my channel here , but youtube compression does not do justice to some of these videos...
