are the pressings of wake (vhs) different in quality? obtained one recently, got a fantastic video transfer but crap audio compared to other wake-dvds i have. anyone ever compared?

I think there are two (slightly) different versions of the VHS release, there are some minor differences in the colour-balance between them as I recall. I don't know anything about sound quality.

I know that the sound on a couple of commercial VHS tapes I own have degraded quite badly over the years while most of the others have survived quite well.

I suppose it could be that the individual tape you have wasn't stored in ideal conditions?

Its channel5 edition in good shape as the video transfer proved, maybe its due to the vhs device.

What is the quality of those commercial ebay versions like?

Sorry, I don't think I expressed myself clearly.

I was talking about other VHS tapes (films etc.) not copies of Wake.

You expressed youself clearly, obviously not me.
I was asking for quality of the wake dvds one can by on ebay regularly

OK

I don't know I've not seen one.

i have the one called "floorshow"



it's a vhs transfer but it seems better than i remember my old vhs copy ever being

yes i was referreing to all of them in my first post, my transfer turned out much better for the picture but inferior to at least one of them in audio (don't know now which is which any more)
