VHS player came in yesterday. Been converting a bunch of VHS tapes to digital versions for a few family members. 

My sister gave me some old TV series that only had like 6 episodes on VHS. 

Would like to have it set up really nicely for her. 

1.) Need to downscale the videos - the recording comes out at 1080p, even though VHS is limited to much lower resolution... Will correct the resolution first, maybe I'll try upscaling it with Video2x afterwards. 

2.) Need to fix the audio, when I was recording or something, there is a persistent buzzing sound. I tried Audacity to remove the buzzing sound, and I think I did an okay job. And hopefully didn't take out other good sounds. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum I saw some reference to this. But it wasn't sticking out the way it sounded like it was supposed to on the chart.

3.) Generate subtitles from the fixed audio.

I'd be willing to digitize it for you. 

But I'm sure you wouldn't feel comfortable sending it? 

If you have a VHS-C adapter, that would be needed. Otherwise they're like $25 on Amazon.

I had streaming between 3 different households tonight. In-laws were watching a TV show, my brother was watching a movie, and wifey was watching her movie. 

Was neat that it was possible with our internet and everything.

I really enjoy the physical media release pace. 

Yesterday Dandadan was announced. 
Today, a Lilo and Stitch 4k was announced. 

Next week, there will be probably be some Warner Archive announcements, probably won't be anything for me. But it's a lot of fun.
