It essentially allows cargo to be thrown in one direction with the ship only designed to be decelerating which saves fuel - the jump drive at the time (I missed a couple of updates now so I'm not sure about current balancing) would be too expensive to haul kilotonnes of rock around

@@untodesu mmmkay... not sure anyone would have guessed that, you didnt show us how it "works".

@@scottsadler4215 yeah I kind of don't have a capable PC anymore nor I am willing to setup windows on my laptop which wouldn't pull even 30 FPS in the game

@@untodesu sorry to hear that bro... i hope things take a better turn for ya, and not just for this game's sake. Keep yer head up!

Not my video, I just added half-life SFX

A better idea would be to just consider simulating signal stuff using DSP, because the general bandwidth is about 6 MHz, sample rate would be equal to 12 MHz. NTSC line rate is 15750 Hz, assume VHS is half of that (7875 Hz). A single scanline then takes about 0.00012698412 seconds (about 128 microseconds); This would mean a single scanline is about 1600 samples (pixels if you will) long. Assuming we use 32-bit floats, a single scanline is 6400 bytes, the whole frame is 3072000 bytes, about 3 mebibytes - nothing for modern machines. The main issue with this however is the fact that you'd have to FM-modulate luminance. FM itself isn't that big of a deal; however, demodulating one in GLSL in my case would be TORTUROUS to implement but RITEG is technically a community projects so I'm open to contributions ;)

vhs-decode exists so it can demodulate raw VHS RF signals output from the virtual modulator/processor, so the demodulation portion doesn't need to be implemented. if you haven't, I highly recommend reading up on it. yes, in the analog domain the effective bandwidth of VHS is 6MHz, but there are overtones that need to be dealt with- the lowest "safe" frequency to capture RF at has been tested to be around 18MHz, so the DSP sample rate should be more than or equal to that. It also can be 8 bits because VHS has an effective entropy of 6 or 7 bits since analog tape is inherently noisy. The VHS line rate is the same as the NTSC line rate, as it's 262.5 lines per field, 59.94 fields per second. Also, I think I didn't mention this, but the headswitch noise from VCR to VCR can vary greatly- it can manifest as either just 1-3 lines being jittery or displaced up to halfway left or right on the screen and/or with wonky color, since there can be a momentary gap between the heads switching so the demodulation circuitry goes out of alignment for a very short time. and because of how the hi-fi audio system works, the audio can interfere with the video.

@@reverseretro1961 good to know I guess; I'm not that experienced into VHS internals so that's some good information to know, will definitely look into vhs-decode

Whenever I get my grabby little hands on running Windows again, I suppose

@@untodesu Thankyou very much friend

ttsmp3 thing

Does it work in linux? How to use it in the command line?

@@mr.tesseract6854 it's a web service, ttsmp3.com/

A separate filter pipeline would be the best solution, RITEG can do this, as for making the current effect more realistic, I might do actual signal processing. Though FM seems harder to demodulate than QAM for chrominance

Okay? I know how to do actual VHS filtering with a real VCR, in fact I've done it with my EAS video. This thing actually describes effects and how to correctly simulate them. Also it's not an AI voice but a conventional TTS

I hate listening to any kind of robot voice, so artificial.. it's easy to spot, even the better AI versions are still annoying to listen to. Interesting video and what are the causes of video noise in VHS playback.

@@marcusdamberger my heavy Russian accent and general speech problems would be less understandable than using a TTS

I can but there's a line already

I made it with Furnace, Audacity to fix Furnace's export volume being low and corrscope

Thanks!

The voice acting on it is fine but it's already squashed into low dynamic range of radio, and isn't a TTS, use of which may be more "realistic"

Furnace

Yes it's furnace

Yes, it's an older video though

a regular one

I think it's a type of pattern of some sort

Regular Show intro image i think.

Kind of my own quote-unquote 'marketing' splash (I use same pattern for my twitter/mastodon banner and my minecraft skin is literally this noise in a suit)... Made it in GIMP

The idea is that its spectrum is a cardinal sine-like function (sinc), and to add some nonsense I decided to name it cosine instead >:D

Thanks! I don't really know what advertisement is suitable in this case, for next videos I might just use a news report (one of those creative works circulating the internet currently) if the author gives me permissions. Visial glitches are dictated by the video processing pipeline: this one is composed from two VCR playbacks, one is just playing as usual and the other one is fast-forwarding a little and then playback as usual. I value my VCR enough to not be able to torture it to the point of losing tracking and whatnot :) And to be fair, it's a mid-end late 90s (1997) VCR so any kind of distortion is period-accurate in terms of recording and playback quality (though tape also matters, I can't bring myself into damaging tape as well, those things are EXPENSIVE these days lmao)... The only thing I would add is ATV snow and other kinds of distortions and that might as well be done with things like ntsc-rs, time will tell
