Are video enhancers worth the money? I never worried about them before because second generation tapes were such garbage that no amount of effort could make them viewable. However superBeta makes very reasonable copies. I routinely make second generate masters of skits edited out of television shows. I also have some third generation copies that are still very good on a TV, and acceptable on a projector. However, there are some color changes. Subtle color shifts, perhaps some increase in contrast. Would one of the "better" video enhancers solve these problems? Or would they degrade the signal worse because they were designed pre-superBeta and expected to work with a much worse signal? What are some of the "better" enhancers? Anyone out there use these criters? --Kne
