Hi! I've captured an old VHS taped that some guys from my 1st ship in the Navy created in 1990. The video was captured poorly, and has been edited and recopied at least once, likely more.

Can someone tell me what the bright edges are called? I've searched through the forums and browsed around and can't find anything like this.

Once I know what they are called, I can search and read more.

Thank you in advance.

Halo, often caused by false sharpening in low-end VCRs.

The bright areas only occur on the right hand edges of a dark object against a bright background. This effect may have been "baked in" to your copy. Have you tried to source an earlier generation tape, preferably the original?

Hi lordsmurf and timtape - thanks very much for your answers.

I was afraid of that. This is the only known copy of the tape in existence. We've asked around in the ship's Facebook group and elsewhere, with no luck.

It's fairly obvious that it's been copied a few times - from the baked in scan lines, etc. Several edits have been done as well, from what the tape owner has told me.

Knowing that the Halos are baked in will save me a huge amount of time trying to repair them - hehe.

Overall, I was able to improve the quality of the video and audio dramatically, so I'm calling this a success.

Thank you again!

Jeff
