Absolutely. They're being paid, but that's why I carefully chose the words "many professional services" - instead of "many professionals". I can't call them "professionals".

VHS-decode reads the RF from the VCR, so it doesn't have a way to improve it, If the VCR's RF point is off for a given tape, VHS-decode will pick it up as is.

This is the new best easiest way to get Huffy! It’s easier than Hofmand’s installer.

A VCR/Camcorder is definitely an important factor here, One with line TBC and S-Video makes the case 80% of the time, USB/Firewire/SDI/PCI does not really matter as long as the capture is in lossless...

Not the best source tape to showcase quality differences. It adds the NTSC-J IRE snafu.

AI is more of a parrot, it gathers data from search engines like you do yourself and it repeats it to you, the scary part is more people are relying on it and taking its results as facts.

No, that's not quite accurate.
- JPEGs are not recompressed, unless found to be defective, or over (about) 810 pixels wide.
