[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1064928, member: 369937"] The audio on the VHS tape is true L&R audio recording, not the chopped up digital stuff* like on CD's and DVD's, some Bluray audio is getting back to true L&R and in some cases true 5.1 surround. The SNR would would be dependent on the playback and audio equipment. *With most digital recording devices you will lose 1/2 of the of the original analog L&R audio input, this at a 32 to 48 kHz sample rate on the analog to digital converter, so everytime the AtoD is sampling the incoming L or R channel the analoge audio on the other channel is lost.. So a good sound card on a PC (one with L and R inputs, or more for surround sound) and the correct software to do L&R wave file recording (2 separate files) you can get some very nice recordings.
