Full HD (1080i, 60fps) VHS demo from 1993

Wow. I had no idea this kind of quality video was possible 30 years ago. It's really cool to see HD footage this old.

Just one of these tapes had the capacity of a double layer Blu-Ray. It was truly ahead of its time but way too expensive for consumers. A whole era of HD 90s kino was at our fingertips.

    There was an even earlier HD format, the HD Laserdisc, and it was entirely analog. Same fate though, too expensive for consumers (unless you were a rich jap). They were released between 1988-2000.

      This looks better than current Japan, and it's even right after the bubble. RIP countries with aging population.

        90s Japan was closer to boom-era Japan than 2000s Japan. The Bubble had burst but they probably thought it was temporary. Their habits, clothes, etc, didn't change, it wasn't something very visible.

      It's things like this that make me sad.
      I think peak America was about 1946-1971. Postwar prosperity, strong economic growth.

      Things started to level off after then, but were still okay. But post-9/11, comfy america feels like it's on the decline.

        It's not 9/11. The only "bad" aftereffects of 9/11 were the Patriot Act and the airport shit. But the militarization of police was already on its way. Shit additives in the food too. Same for obesity, crime rates, opioids (drug and crime were actually higher back then than now), immigration, you name it. These would still be here today. The one thing howere that messed it up for EVERYONE is social media, and social distrust. Mid-to-late 00s.

          It can all be traced to the decline of white people's influence on American culture imo, and all of that started before 9/11.

          I'm the guy you replied to, maybe you're right. Social media (and even other aspects of the internet) have really fricked us up. Also, young men have been ruined by internet porn.

          Outsourcing was already on its way by 9/11. I think the economic downfall started during the early 70s. Reagan's "reforms" kind of covered that up.

    it looks good, larger format film has ridiculously high resolution. not sure if you could get 8k out of it, but some Hollywood movies with the original film may have remasters with even higher resolution one day
    the daytime shots look kind of bad though since so much is overexposed, the night shots look really good

      It's actually not film, but shot natively on electronic cameras. Not sure whether they are tube or CCD (they used both in the early HD days).
