Here's some VHS bits I ripped using composite. Not too bad for VHS quality without any retouching.

Looks good enough to watch for me, although there are already high quality versions of Red Dwarf available. I am just glad people are ripping rarer things that are only available on VHS and putting them up. You can see all of MTV's Liquid Television and a lot of episodes of VH1's Pop-Up Video on the Internet Archive. Those will almost certainly never be made available any other way for rights reasons.
Yeah. I made this as a demo for customers wanting their home videos converted, but you're right about things that are disappearing. The chomps movie in this sample for example might not exist online, or the seeders may have since vanished. Not sure if it'd get taken down if I posted it on YouTube.
