I popped in a VHS or two in recent weeks to copy stuff to dvd. VHS is about half, or a little less, in terms of quality from DVD. And that is simply based on lines of resolution. Compared to a 10Mbit DVD, VHS sucks like a toothless monkey on a frozen bannana.

When I first played a DVD on my TV via coaxial cable, I couldn't believe it was the same TV because the picture was so good.

Blu-ray is not only 6x the picture information we get over SD DVD, the bit rate is 3 to 4 times higher. Anyone who can't see the difference needs a side by side comparison.
