: Why do the VHS camcorder footages look so silky smooth , almost like 60fps ?

635 views

This is a question that has been at back of mind for the past 6 months, I’ve searched a lot but never once I did get a comprehensive answer to the question.

I would like it very much if someone explain me the exact reason why is it so?

Great question! VHS is and interlaced format, where every other line of a frame is shown, and then the opposite lines. This makes 30 completes frames, but 60 refreshes. Your TV (or the digitization process) de-interlaces the signal from an analog source like VHS. Meaning, it will double every line in every frame, giving you exactly 60 full frames per second.
