yup, that's what I said. :D

I can say they look great. These used to be coated in mold.

I can't say it's because of the RT4K or if it's worth the $700.

oh, gotcha. Well, I guess Bob's sort of a Youtuber. But mostly he runs his site. He does weekly Q&A responses to the site.

I'm not sure what you mean by "YouTube people." Unless you mean that I happened to post versions on my channel. I'm archiving this to archive it. That's just the easiest way to share to the masses...

I mean the same could be said for the RT4K. Some of the consoles that it is mainly used for are 40 years old, yet it was just developed recently. With FPGA a lot is possible.

it's a niche market, but I imagine there is still a big enough market out there to create something the same or better than those and sell it to that niche. Then people wouldn't need to keep...

I think the response is usually that tech gets cheaper over time as new things come out. Since this is all for old tech problems, you'd think the equipment would be cheap - but that's not how it...

yeah, Youtube isn't a my "goal", it's just a way to share things I've transferred. The original files will always look better. Animation may be helpful, but many of my home movies look really great...

720p is HD. I've tried both 480 and 720, and also anything that is under 720 gets downconverted to 480 and gets blocky. Did you look at my videos? They don't look like crap. I don't like to...

same to you!

Been using the setup outlined by Bob (at least mostly) to digitize both family home movies and also some out of print out of copyright VHS tapes lately. Works like a charm. Zero dropped frames in...
