2022-04-30 07:43:30 +0000 UTCYou sort of stumbled onto some other weirdness of analogue video: the fact that the resolution of VHS is listed as 240 lines. Of course the logical, rational reading of that is 240 horizontal lines, or a vertical resolution of 240, which was used on old game consoles all the time. That's what most people think when they read that brief fact without further explanation, and it's what I used to think it meant until fairly recently. But no, VHS displays 486i (in NTSC), which is the same as SD broadcast TV, laserdisc, or most sources of NTSC video that aren't old game consoles. So it's at least got to be something that's clearly distinguishable as part of the video, right? No, the truth is, I shit you not, that it refers to hypothetical vertical black and white lines. Here's why: talking about horizontal resolution for analogue video is weird. There's no pixels inherent in it, and you could theoretically change from say black to white at an arbitrary point along any horizontal line. However, there was still a limit to how much distinguishable information you could fit onto that horizontal line. So the way they devised to talk about it is Television Lines or TVL. Basically, it's a measure of how many alternating black and white vertical lines you could fit into a display before it blurred together into an indistinct grey mess. And because they wanted it to cover any theoretical changes in aspect ratio, the width measured is an amount equal to the screen's height, not the full screen length. So when they say that VHS has 240 lines, what they actually mean is that it's the standard NTSC or PAL interlaced vertical resolution, but that it could display 240 clearly distinct vertical black and while lines across 3/4 the width of a standard SD TV screen. Analogue video is really fucking weird, and now you know that just a little bit more deeply.

2022-04-29 21:49:05 +0000 UTCI appreciate the quick turnaround on this new version. I stopped watching the old version as soon as you posted, so I'll be started from the beginning again. I watched about the first 10 min or so.
