Hey guys. I am a total noob, but I am glad I found this forum. I am about to undertake a large effort to transfer my huge collection of VHS and I want to achieve the highest quality reasonably possible.
So I have this Panasonic AG-DS550. The transfer looks decent but I would like to understand what qualities I can expect to improve if I am using something like an AG-1980.
Can you view this 1 minute sample off of my AG-DS550 and help me to understand where I need to improve, and I what I should be looking for in an improved transfer?

This sample is RAW coming directly out of the AG-DS550. Normally I would do some Color Correction and remaster the sound a little in NLE, but for the purposes of this conversation this sample is straight from the deck.
I am grateful for your advice.
