Need help with "VHS Effect"

Why not go the old fashioned way? Record the miniDV tape TO VHS, then play it back in the VHS, while recording onto the miniDV. Just push fast forward and play live, while recording it. Can't get more organic than that.
 
Create a solid layer and add fractal noise. Adjust the peramaters utill you get something that looks stretchy and contrasty (static interruption, signal break-up like).

Next you need to animate the evolution settings. Set a start key frame and then tweak the hell out of the second key frame.

Pre comp that layer and stack your video layer (the one you want to screw up) underneath it. Add a displacement map effect to this video layer.

Set the displacement map layer to the pre comp you just made and begin the tweaking process.

Have fun.
