I looked and there was all sort of brands and specifications so I'm curious about which one would be the best to get so I need your advice. I'm want to record on a "Sony SLV-R1000" and I would like to get the best possible quality out of it when I'm recording to the tape from either cable UHF connection or composite-svideo inputs. Today I tried recording with a new VHS tape Premium Quality the brand was Sony but I then compared it with the cable broadcast for exactness (same face, same scene C-SPAN2) I just press STOP looked at the original for a while then press PLAY and looked but I got dissapointed.

Unfortuneately you will never get the same results as a TV signal. The bandwidth on a VHS tape isn't enough and data is lost. You could try S-VHS if your VCR supports it to get closer results.

S-VHS is better than VHS and with DVD you will. Just make sure to use a good bitrate with the DVD. 4500 kbit/s makes a 2 hour DVD (on DVD5) which is good quality and higher bitrates make better quality.

I had found the MQST-120 Broadcast Videocassette to be the best video cassette for its quality of video specifically and it seems the audio is better too. The recommended JVC S-VHS Tapes (ST120SVDU2) have dissapointed me.
