I would take an S-VHS VCR over a standard VHS VCR. But really, you can only do so much with 240 lines of noisy, dirty resolution. From what I understand, this odd Blu-ray/VHS player does a bang up job with VHS too: Panasonic DMP-BD70V Blu-ray Disc/VHS PlayerOnly a player though. No recording.

If you say that hardly any movies were released on Svhs then I guess finding a S-vhs player even harder . Will it output VHS in higher quality though?

No, normally VHS stays VHS... Sometimes you can have benefits from a (possibly) better comb filter... A recorder with TBC can improve the quality a bit, but it stays ultralow definition video But it can be watchable

Will it output VHS in higher quality though? it's far better to have an S-VHS VCR than an S-VHS "player" hell, i'm not even sure such a beast has ever existed, at least in the U.S. market. at any rare, S-VHS VCRs can be found easily enough... try the BAY for starters... elahrairrah wrote: I would take an S-VHS VCR over a standard VHS VCR.

If you want the best picture, especially on newer TVs, you want a DVD recorder. The better ones do an amazing job upconverting.
If you want one that is physically more well made than most, you want something from the 80s or a pro deck. The picture will be nowhere near as good though, especially if it's pre "HQ" era.
I don't know if there is anything that bridges these two worlds, I'd suspect not.

You mean a VHS + DVD combo units puts out the best picture of a VHS?

I always looked down on DVD+VHS combo, I thought they were a bad novelty equipement that just wanted to "WOW" consumers and make them buy it. I thought it never worked right... Well, not all of them are created equally. If that's a VHS/DVD combo where the DVD section is merely a player, it won't be all that good as it won't upconvert/filter the VHS section. Only VHS/DVD recorder combos seem to do that (other than that crazy VHS/blu-ray player I listed above.)

I own the last S-VHS recorder manufactured by Panasonic for the European market. http://www.amazon.de/Panasonic-NV-SV-12 ... B0002JZ8A6I am very satisfied with it. Of course quality wise it is worse than Laserdisc but I find the Hi-Fi stereo sound on some of my tapes very satisfying and there are many great titles on VHS. The entire UK edition of Star Trek Deep Space Nine is excellent. The sound quality is almost CD like ( much better than Dolby Digital 2.0 ) and you can see that they tried to squeeze the maximum out of the VHS format quality wise. The picture looks really really good. To me the movie and the contents sometimes count more than Battleship with Rihanna in 1080p with a banging a** dts HD Master track.´ Some movies especially made for TV movies have neither been released on DVD / Blu Ray nor Laserdisc. The thing I like a lot about VHS that all of my original tapes basically show no wear at all. They still play like new. Even my recorded tapes still work very well. My recorder however does not play SECAM tapes in colour which is a bit of a shame as I own a Mylène Farmer tape and I can only watch it in black and white.
