VHS tapes that never got a dvd release

[neatoman]

Serious question, is anyone actually bummed that these things don't exist in higher resolution? Like really, does anyone actually want these in DVD quality or higher? To me it kind of sounds like wanting old christian children's propaganda in higher resolution. Leave in VHS quality, it's easier to mock that way.

Well.... DVD was never quality. It was just the first mass-adopted forray into digital. Most DVD's were just the cheapest of scans to digital until you bought the occasional Sony Superbit or Criterion disc.

My point? Only that you could take those VHS tapes and convert them to digital and put 'em on a disc on your home PC and you'd have close to the same thing if you did a good job on it.

Besides, most of the stuff mentioned in this thread could actually just be supplemental material on some actual release.

Back when DVDs first came out they made our jaws drop,, though.

And I do miss the creative DVD menus. Blurays seem to have gotten rid of those. Popping up a new dvd was always a fun adventure for the menus alone

Aw, yeah. The menu on the Ghostbusters DVD is classic. Wayne's World was great, too.

I want to say that I have a bootleg DVD of Turtle Tunes and We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, but if I have it it would be buried in a box in storage.

Don't forget the anime OVA episodes of "Mutant Turtles: Superman Legend" were also only available on 2 VHS releases in Japan.

Sadly it would be a miracle if we ever got those. Cybercubed is the only one who can pull off a miracle like that.
