: Why Home VHS quality degraded overtime vs a Camera or Studio Tape?

260 views

Title

Mini cassettes from the early 2000 or re-releases of TV shows now in digital format have a staggering quality.

But if I boot a VHS copy from the attic the quality is awful even when the tapes were new .

Is there any difference in studio/camera tapes in terms of quality compared to regular home use VHS?

VHS was never a high quality recording format. It has low resolution, lower than broadcast TV. Studios would use much higher quality formats to record things as you want high quality master recordings.
