It has been fun working through Todd Nakamine’s VHS tapes. This one is one that I copied for him back in the 90s, and then my copy went missing.

There is a reason why this one went uncirculated for so long.. because you can’t see anything! I spent way too much time trying to make it viewable but I don’t think it’s much better. I worked up 3 versions for you by using the filters in virtualdub to attempt to help:

  1. High brightness, High contrast
  2. High brightness only
  3. No adjustments
    You can see the band when someone takes a picture and the image burns into the camera for a second. At least the sound isn’t bad…

If you hate the first version, forward it 20 minutes to the next one.
