Been so long I almost forgot...oh yeah its tape !

I have a request to supply a VHS tape of a wedding I just delivered on DVD. The DVD looks great, but I cant seem to get decent quality on a VHS tape.

Ive tried...
1.DVD to VHS (sp mode)...terrible.

2. I tried "export to tape" from original project timeline to camcorder, then rca jacks of camcorder to input of VHS deck............terrible.

3. Tried using the uncompressed AVI file, saving to camcorder, then camcorder to VHS deck.............still looks like crap.

The tape is New T120 Sony.

The best video was copying the DVD to VHS via a DVD-VHS combo machine. But I would have thought that going from timeline thru camcorder to VHS deck would have given me "better looking" video than the DVD.........not !

Need help..
Any suggestions.?
 
yea like, there isnt much you can do to make a VHS tape look good other than use a VERY expensice VHS deck. they can put out a decent image.
 
thanks.....

The direct DVD to VHS combo machine is running as I type.

They will have to live with that ! Im tired of the project.

If I had only kept my "beta" machine. :)
 
You could keep a copy of that tape, just in case some other ahem, person, comes looking for VHS. Show a few seconds of DVD v. a few seconds of tape, and maybe that'll put them off.
 
Exactly ! Older grandfather........hates those "new-fangled" DVD players......says "there's too many buttons"..........holy crap.......Im a grandfather.........just realized that.........long live VHS !

thanks for the "idea" Holy Harry........I "could" say my competition specializes in the new technology called VHS. : )
Thanks to all...
