: Hi John,
: You will find that all your clients whether consumers or
: businesses will need VHS dubs of your final product. The only
: exception is television. The fact is that there are over
: 100 million VHS VCRs in America alone and in many cases
: the VHS dub is the ONLY thing your client will ever see.
: This means that all your energies must be directed to making
: a great VHS copy because this is what you will be judged by.
: So whatever takes to do this is what you should do. One
: of the great things about the DV format is that there is
: virtually no generation loss during editing. That was the
: biggest problem in producing in SVHS and Hi-8. The third
: generation VHS dubs suffered some quality loss.
: With so many VHS machines in daily use, it will take years
: for DVD to become an ADDITIONAL competing release format.
: And it will take even longer for it to replace VHS as a mass
: medium. For proof go to Blockbuster and see how many DVDs your
: can rent compared with VHS tapes. Ask them when they expect to
: have as many DVD titles as VHS titles.
: Best,
: Hal
Thanks for your response, Hal. Do you have any thoughts on a good VHS Deck? The S VHS JVC's ?
