***You will see a far greater difference than 10%.Lesseee...
***Vhs is about 240 lines of resolution.
That I horizontal resolution, ball park.
***Dvd is about 480 lines.
I presume you are talking vertical now. You will be lucky to get perhaps 340 horizontal lines.
***I suggest you rent a player and some dvds from you local movie rental.
That will be fine until you stumble over some DVD's that I have. They are quite poor. Worse than good VHS tapes.
What you are testing here is NOT format capability, but some practical implementations.
The difference between the ultimate performance of the VHS and DVD is nice, but not all that great and on some material it may be not visible at all.
Rental tapes - that's another story.
***Remember how much better cd was over cassette tape? Expect a difference of that magnitude.
Anyway, I am not arguing that generally you get better picture with the DVD, just that the VHS was never unfortunately developed into what it is capable of, and therefore given too bad a name.
