One other request: when you port the code could you please mention this project (and the github URL) in the comments?

Works for me. Let me know when to pull.

I do know of one form of head error (that I sort of emulate at this time) that has to do with the tape heads as they pass over the...

Part of the emulation in this program is how non-hifi VHS records audio. In the original VHS format, video is recorded by the drum head across the tape and audio...

One of the effects I know I can add later, is from experience with VHS and EP recording speeds. Dropouts in EP don't become static unless they're large, they tend...

I'm not sure yet how to recreate the tracking noise and sparkles, but I think it has something to do with luminance and FM modulation on the tape, since it...

I hope this technical research isn't too jarring to people who thought VHS was just "record video signal to tape", there's some analog hackery involved in making VHS work. Don't...

More technical information if interested https://www.av-iq.com/AVCAT/images/documents/pdfs/TT189%20-%204611.pdf Luminance is FM modulated, as I thought. So logically, dropouts register in the video signal the same way FM signal dropouts turn to noise....

Also, about Hi-Fi audio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS#Hi-Fi_audio_system

VCRs as I understand it do lowpass the video signal to the bandwidth given. Can you bandwidth limit the video signal before FM modulation? I would also expect that VCRs...
