Creating a truly accurate vhs filter would be really difficult, analogue video signals are very complex and you'd basically have to create a simulation of a full video signal and the degradation from the tape Which there are people who have been trying to make something like that
proper vhs recordings look way better than this does. those adapters and cheap composite cables made this video look way worse than it really should. this is analog tech - quite everything matters here. stuff like quality of the tape itself and the VCR and if it's 2, 4 or 6 head...

We were pretty poor growing up. We didn't get our first flat screen TV until 2017. So The little box TV is genuinely how I played Minecraft for all of my childhood
remember how you couldn’t play split screen without an hd cable? i was so excited to play minecraft with my cousin when he came over and we just couldn’t unfortunately
0:55 When I was a kid, the only TV I owned was a giant bubble TV that I had to stick my finger through a crack in the front to turn it on. At the time I was playing on a plug and play Star Wars gyro arcade game thing, so my parents bought me my first current gen console, an xbox360 with a copy of Minecraft. The TV had a VHS player/recorder built into it 🙂I might have an old VHS of me playing minecraft somewhere. Good times.
@@dialko2596 That brought back memories, oh the horror! Why is there no video? Where did the audio go? Am I on the right channel because its static... >D
I really liked SCART, no need to fiddle around with RCA and have to move them around 100 times because you keep sticking them in wrong. Just plug them into the RCA to SCART adapter and you're good.
I feel like there has to be a simpler way to get that audio on there. When its a slideshow with no audio, couldn't you do the audio recording while recording the slideshow? I guess for cases where you need the original game audio, you would need to capture the computer sound with the first VHS second VHS technique. Really cool video though!
(Copy pasted from another reply): Correct, I later realized I could have combined phases 1 and 2. With the way I was originally going to do the images, it wasn’t possible. But I later switched methods, but didn’t realize I could just record video and audio simultaneously until after. And once the video was on there, there is not a way to get the audio over the same tape. However, at least this way I also got some generation loss, which looks a lot cooler.
this was really fun! never messed with vhs myself but i enjoyed you walking us through the process, and the final result is so much better than any filter could've achieved. love how distorted and surreal dry hands sounds like this
Sorry about the high pitched noise. If you just want to see the finished video, you can skip there; I’m told it doesn’t have the sound. If I was able to hear the noise, I would have edited it out.
Definetly make sure you pay attention to the audio spectrum on clips with CRTs in them! They make a super high-pitched squeal that some people can hear. You can't hear it because either you are too old (sorry) and you can't hear that frequency, or you are used to being around CRTs and your brain tunes out the sound!
@@Zappryeah, sometimes i hear high pitched noises around my washing machine, yet my parents aren’t able to hear it! sometimes it feels like i’m hallucinating
I the VHS stuff because, despite the fact that even when I first played Minecraft in 2011 I played on a fairly new monitor (for the time), my childhood was filled with VHSs/the graphics of VHSs: our old CRT TV’s picture quality, all our films being on VHS as we only had VHS player, the pirated films we had taped on VHSs, childhood recordings being on a home videocamera, etc. My family was pretty poor after the 2008 recession so this was the technology we had these until around the early-mid 2010s. It was a huge part of my childhood that sort of went away at the same time Minecraft originally did (I remember getting a TV w/a dvd player, before that we had to play CDs on the TV). Thank you for this vid, it very was a trip down memory lane with all the old tech.
Man, I don't know, but the fact that you're so special because you actually remember and still play old Minecraft versions and the way so speak so endearingly made you one of the RUclipsrs that I feel a kind of attachment to 😭
The reason I think people like to use the VHS-'aesthetic' for these kinds of things is because it helps give visual form to that feeling of knowing how it felt to play Minecraft back in the day, having memories of playing it those years ago, but just not having quite the same quality of mental picture. VHS, with its quirks and jank, experiences a quality loss that people can synthetically relate to
I think it's just that most of us grew up with those family home videos, some with us playing games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, the Wii, Minecraft, etc. So the VHS thing kinda just made sense
i don’t think the vhs effect makes sense for me because Minecraft’s classic era was in the early 2010s, and in that time less people were using vhs to record (Minecraft??) and people just used screen recorders like hypercam 2-3.
@theawesometeg219 minecraft is just a fitting game and aesthetically everything about it (in classic versions) screams nostalgia. The simple geometry and textures feel like homage to classic snes and early 3d games and the c418 soundtrack is so solemn, atmospheric, and nostalgic itself. Skyrim is another popular game that came out in 2011, and i agree that the vhs filter wouldn't really fit there, but with minecraft it does
The final result made me think of something somewhat creepy that's gonna happen at some point, where people died who worked on a world for years and you can actually go into the world of your passed-away relative. Since it's such a creative thing to build in minecraft, you could say part of their spirit lives on... yeh, idk but I'm sure that stuff is gonna happen at some point
Maybe it's my ""modern"" sense of humor, but I swear to God the crappy music playing over the slideshow actually made it funny for me at first xD Btw absolutely loved the part at 13:39 The music and the distortions played over the nether are dope, and then the snap back to the vibrant cheerful overwold, hands down the best part. Here's your Hipster Medal 🥇 well done Mr Dialko 🐔👍
New Dialko Video!!! Btw this remind me that I did the same thing for a short film i did and a Zelda Majoras Mask gameplay i recorder some years ago, transfer the digital video to a VHS. Also nice selection of music, Akira Yamaoka and Nujabes are a great combination.
As someone who's done this kind of stuff before, I'm super glad to see other people making their own digital to vhs (and sometimes also) back to digital set-ups. I'd just like to say that the images get stretched when you move from 16:9 to 4:3 which makes squares not look like squares unless if you alter it beforehand. The easiest way would be to proportionally squash it in the other way so that it cancels out and gives you square squares, which you could do given the whole slideshow thing. Although the more permanent solution is to whenever you record you set your computer's resolution to 4:3. Now the problem with that is that graphic cards generally lean to giving you black bars on the sides when you do that. So not only will it be stretched, it'll also be pillar boxed too! For Nvidia cards it's pretty easy to find out how to fix it online, but for AMD (which is what I have), you just have to go to the Display tab and under Scaling Mode select Full Panel. (Sorry for the huge block of text, keep up the good work!)
I found your channel by the beta map tour video, and now I'm here for all the new content about this nostalgia trip to old Minecraft. It's always like that feeling of home, cozy and warm, and I love it.
I did some of that myself with a real VCR but the problem I run into was that the VHS quality was just too good. And i'm not kidding - the quality that my average VCR puts on an average tape is just surprisingly good and completely clean of any defects, noise or other effects like you would expect of a 'nostalgic VHS look'. I solved the issue by buying a big neodymium magnet and swiping around the tape a few times, recording it onto a PC after each pass as the quality got progressively worse and worse. Then I took all the videos at different levels of quality and edited them together in resolve to make only parts of the video seem destroyed. It might've not been entirely authentic, but I didn't find any other way to instantly age a tape.
As someone who is currently hyperfixated on both Minecraft and VHS tapes, this video is amazing! It was really fun to watch you put this together, and it's inspired me to want to learn how to do stuff like this with my own VCR for content!
Really incredible how the final product looks! I'm glad you had access to some VHS stuff so you could make this, I love the whole process of the video too. Great stuff. And you've got my boy Judeau as a pfp, have to send out respect for that, too.
This brings me way back to when I was a kid getting so frustrated with the heavy flickering over the best parts of a VHS tape. Or when I had Dragon Ball tapes, and the ending of one flickered too much to see or hear making it a surprise to see it on DVD as an adult.
My first experience with Minecraft was on Xbox 360 back in 2012, and the tv I had was actually a CRT. I remember loading up the first tutorial world, hearing the game's iconic music in that old CRT quality, building my first house, and then growing trees on top of trees up to the build limit for some reason. Pure nostalgia
I love how the VHS camera has become the universal style of nostalgia, even when people didn't use VHS anymore, like the minecraft era, it really feels nostalgic or like a distant memory
I think you're the only youtuber that makes me type their channel name in the search bar thirsty for new content/video. Others i just wait till they pop up in my feed. In other words, your content is really nice and i think your voice is pleasant to hear. Keep up!
I just made a Minecraft VHS recording. The difference is that it was the PS3 version. I did a recording of the tutorial world. Also, great video, I am always amazed at the old VHS look.
So much dedication for such a piece of art. Incredible! Love your “backstage” videos (the commentary for “The last beta player” was beyond any praises). Keep it up, my man!
I think this is awesome. Not just the finished product but the entire process is just cool and fun to watch. I’ve seen similar “nostalgia” videos like that but with Gta san andreas clips and Vhs overlay So maybe you could try that aswell. Great video.
DUDE IM LOVING HEARING ALL THESE VIDEOS USE SILENT HILL MUSIC, I GREW UP ON THOSE SONGS AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT PEOPLE ARE FINALLY CATCHING ONTO THESE BANGERS!!!!!!
What a wonderful coincidence it is that you have record of lodoss war on the tape man! I have began watching it maybe a month or so ago (maybe more idk) but only watched the 1st episode and was thinking of getting back into it. Well, looks like a sign for me to do so lol
Ive played Minecraft on a CRT, like actually played it, and its genuinely a whole different experience. It has the fidelity of a modern game, but everything tells you its retro. It creates this almost surreal feeling, like your playing a game from an alternate universe where the games industry's art just froze, while technology continued. I genuinely think that if your a minecraft fan, you have to play an old version on a CRT.
Yooooo wtff I never thought that to do something like that it would be so difficult and tricky, but well mixing technology from 20 years ago with the present its a challenge actually. I think the video turn out amazing!!! I really love it, I liked the nether picture because the image got very corrupted and it was like scary vibes idk hahshahsjs
I’m so glad someone did this with a real VHS. I have a couple blank tapes so I might try this at some point it’s really cool. Btw nice CRT. I have a Sony BVM 20F1U but as sharp as that set is I always find myself liking the look of the older CRT my grandparents had. It can technically support more signals than my broadcast level CRT since that can only do standard definition (240p & 480i) but my newer consumer grade CRT can do everything from 480p to 720p so if I wanted to use something like a Xbox 360 it would definitely look better but maybe less sharper. Also I like the song you chose, wet hands. It’s an underrated track, but Sweden is kinda overrated even if it’s my favorite track lol
This is so cool! I always look forward to seeing new videos from you, they have such a nice charm compared to modern ways of content creation. Thanks for the entertainment.
The convolutedness of it all is amazing. I have a convoluted setup to record drum covers. I have an electronic drumset, and I run the audio to a mixer from the 90s. then I have RA - 3.5mm running from the Tape Out into an audio extension cable, and that runs to the microphone input on my PC. But then, I can't record my voice. So, I use a USB microphone for hat. And I use them both in unison with a virtual mixer called Voicemeeter. I don't have the money for a new mixer, so that is how I make do.
I was not expecting to hear End of Small Sanctuary in the background of the video, I just went back and played through the first 3 Silent Hill games. It had been over 10 years since I last played them, but I found my old ps2 while moving; I just bought my first house. When I booted up Silent Hill 1 and saw that main menu, I realized just how much of a time capsule these old games are, and I don't mean just of the game itself, or of the technology, or of the time they were made. I think they serve as a metaphorical time capsule buried inside of me containing the thoughts and feelings of who I was as a teenager. I want more music like End of Small Sanctuary because playing it on loop will only erode my fondness of it faster than I want it to.
12:45 I get goosebumps every time I hear Dry Hands. I was just 11, playing since beta 1.3. Minecraft was a brand-new game at the moment, I was just a little kid, but even then I was feeling the nostalgia coming from this song. I remember stopping and just looking around my realm every time Dry Hands starts playing. It was just like a minute of silence for making memories, and I'm grateful for doing so. Everybody's favorite song was/is Sweden or Mice on Venus, but for me always has been - and forever be my beloved Dry Hands 🙏
I've been trying to reattempt what you've been doing. Still having difficulties in troubleshooting most likely due to my converter having issues. I can't wait to edit my own VCR videos of Minecraft.
The distortion along with the plain piano music gives the finished product an almost eerie feel, like those Herobrine creepypasta videos. The mineshaft and nether shots were especially reminiscent of a creepypasta of sorts.
if you played the old minecraft, you wouldn't enjoy new minecraft because it doesn't feel like minecraft anymore, it's just boring, and it's hard to explain. It's like it lost its soul when Notch sold it to Microsoft
@@sadge0 Thanks to Dialko and few beta players i rediscovered beauty of old minecraft and got deep into it agin. Yep, you're right. New versions have ton of content, but there is so many things in modern version it just dont feel like that mysterious world with Soul and little breath of mystery anymore. Sometimes less is actually more.
Perfect video to start my morning with. Always a good time, and I think that you keeping editing to a minimal is part of that. Makes everything a little more grounded. :)
I was gonna mention that for more degradation, you can record in EP/SLP (extended play/super long play), which is a mode that runs the tape slower for recording for longer at the cost of quality, but you're already using that. The reverse, recording in SP (Standard Play) mode for best quality also applies, if you want less effect from degradation. Also, you can record to PC using a USB HDMI capture card w/ an AV to HDMI adapter to get it upscaled and deinterlaced as you record. It can amplify the "eeriness".
Still remember my first ever MC world, long gone, played on a now destroyed/lost dell laptop. I think I was on release 1.2.5? Version aside I remember the wod the most. I spawned in on a jungle island that couldn't have been more than 100 blocks long and 50 blocks wide. It felt cozy yet isolated. The laptop I was on was not great, so the lower view distance made it feel even more secluded. Imagine my shock when a short boat ride away was a giant landmass. Finally venturing out from my little island felt scary yet exciting in a way.
In my household, the family TV is a flat screen and it's been that way since sometime in the early 2010's. My family gave the old Panasonic CRT TV with a wood pattern on the sides to me instead of just throwing it out until 2018 when I got a flat screen, and now I have 2 TVs!
By all technicality, some people still had CRT monitors by the time Minecraft came out. Some had CRT TVs and the Xbox version of the game. What’s less likely is that they were using VHS tapes to record gameplay, however: that would only be practically feasible if they happened to own both an Xbox and a VCR with blank tapes. Otherwise, I don’t see how it would be practical.
also if you want to get bad audio quality on vhs, record on slow speed and if you want even worse audio quality, copy the vhs to another vhs over and over until the video is distorted. you can make the audio even worse by having an audio cassette and a device for bgm on cassettes. they usually sound terrible. now copy that tape over and over to crush the audio quality
i read the comment and was imagining how funny it'd be funny to make a nostalgia video over stuff from 2019 like fidget spinners, BATIM, and other things from 2019, then i realized that 2019 was 5 years ago
you can actually FEEL the difference between 'retro filter' and actual VHS
Creating a truly accurate vhs filter would be really difficult, analogue video signals are very complex and you'd basically have to create a simulation of a full video signal and the degradation from the tape
Which there are people who have been trying to make something like that

Maybe it's having a more difficult time processing the darker image? Either way it's super interesting
forget the hipster talk, it just adds so much more than a digital filter, the effort was not in vain and will not be underappreciated.
this was class.
digital filters are easy to notice since most people just use presets and don't bother to even make it look convincing
tape is analog, this physically exists on the tape. one step closer to real.

I just made a Minecraft VHS recording. The difference is that it was the PS3 version. I did a recording of the tutorial world.
Also, great video, I am always amazed at the old VHS look.
i do shit like this all the time, i mess around with old analog video or sound equipment until i eventually end up breaking something. great video man
Great Video man! Love to see how VHS worked back then
So much dedication for such a piece of art. Incredible! Love your “backstage” videos (the commentary for “The last beta player” was beyond any praises). Keep it up, my man!
This looks way better than the others😲 Great job!👍
I think this is awesome. Not just the finished product but the entire process is just cool and fun to watch. I’ve seen similar “nostalgia” videos like that but with Gta san andreas clips and Vhs overlay So maybe you could try that aswell. Great video.
I just wanted to let you know that you're one of my favorite content creators on this platform. Thanks for all the amazing content!
mann this takes me back, grew up with a very similar model vhs haha
great vid!!!
The results were more than worth the effort. Thanks for making something and putting it out there.
DUDE IM LOVING HEARING ALL THESE VIDEOS USE SILENT HILL MUSIC, I GREW UP ON THOSE SONGS AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT PEOPLE ARE FINALLY CATCHING ONTO THESE BANGERS!!!!!!
I've been waiting for year for someone to dub it over real VHS! Thanks for the Video!
Great job!!! Looks amazing, definitely authentic 💛
What a wonderful coincidence it is that you have record of lodoss war on the tape man! I have began watching it maybe a month or so ago (maybe more idk) but only watched the 1st episode and was thinking of getting back into it. Well, looks like a sign for me to do so lol
Ive played Minecraft on a CRT, like actually played it, and its genuinely a whole different experience. It has the fidelity of a modern game, but everything tells you its retro. It creates this almost surreal feeling, like your playing a game from an alternate universe where the games industry's art just froze, while technology continued. I genuinely think that if your a minecraft fan, you have to play an old version on a CRT.
Cool video, always loved the look a VHS brings to everything
Turned out incredible man! Really like nothing I’ve ever seen before
Yooooo wtff I never thought that to do something like that it would be so difficult and tricky, but well mixing technology from 20 years ago with the present its a challenge actually. I think the video turn out amazing!!! I really love it, I liked the nether picture because the image got very corrupted and it was like scary vibes idk hahshahsjs
The CRT whine hurts my ears so bad lmao
Sick vid btw
the result was worth it and it was cool to see the process
With all the effort you put into making it authentically analog, I almost expected you to record the audio from a cassette player
I love seeing how many unrelated videos use Silent Hill music
That was so cool!! I love how much joy you got out of the process. I actually wonder why the final audio had so many pitch fluctuations in it.
Rad! Thanks for the effort and keep up the good work.
I don't feel any nostlagia from this type of videos. But you made cool thing. Good job!
Dude this video is SICK! I love that fuzzy warm VHS feeeeeeeeel
I’m so glad someone did this with a real VHS. I have a couple blank tapes so I might try this at some point it’s really cool. Btw nice CRT. I have a Sony BVM 20F1U but as sharp as that set is I always find myself liking the look of the older CRT my grandparents had. It can technically support more signals than my broadcast level CRT since that can only do standard definition (240p & 480i) but my newer consumer grade CRT can do everything from 480p to 720p so if I wanted to use something like a Xbox 360 it would definitely look better but maybe less sharper. Also I like the song you chose, wet hands. It’s an underrated track, but Sweden is kinda overrated even if it’s my favorite track lol
I would love to see a playthough of "Kitty Kart 64" ran through a VHS. This makes me wish we had minecraft back in those days.
This is so cool! I always look forward to seeing new videos from you, they have such a nice charm compared to modern ways of content creation. Thanks for the entertainment.
that high pitch noise old electronic equipment makes are gonna make me go apeshit
this is so cool
Love that we can hear that high pitched whirring from the TV
I fuck with your content so heavy
Why must you say it that way...
I appreciate this. I've never played Minecraft, but I love messing with VCRs and old TVs.
The convolutedness of it all is amazing. I have a convoluted setup to record drum covers. I have an electronic drumset, and I run the audio to a mixer from the 90s. then I have RA - 3.5mm running from the Tape Out into an audio extension cable, and that runs to the microphone input on my PC. But then, I can't record my voice. So, I use a USB microphone for hat. And I use them both in unison with a virtual mixer called Voicemeeter. I don't have the money for a new mixer, so that is how I make do.
I was looking for these but couldnt think of a search query that makes sense, thank you.
Minecraft on VHS before GTA 6
I was not expecting to hear End of Small Sanctuary in the background of the video, I just went back and played through the first 3 Silent Hill games. It had been over 10 years since I last played them, but I found my old ps2 while moving; I just bought my first house.
When I booted up Silent Hill 1 and saw that main menu, I realized just how much of a time capsule these old games are, and I don't mean just of the game itself, or of the technology, or of the time they were made. I think they serve as a metaphorical time capsule buried inside of me containing the thoughts and feelings of who I was as a teenager.
I want more music like End of Small Sanctuary because playing it on loop will only erode my fondness of it faster than I want it to.
i love everything about this video and this guy
I really like how the slideshow was almost unintentionally on beat with dry hands. Very good video, good sir.
12:45 I get goosebumps every time I hear Dry Hands.
I was just 11, playing since beta 1.3. Minecraft was a brand-new game at the moment, I was just a little kid, but even then I was feeling the nostalgia coming from this song. I remember stopping and just looking around my realm every time Dry Hands starts playing. It was just like a minute of silence for making memories, and I'm grateful for doing so.
Everybody's favorite song was/is Sweden or Mice on Venus, but for me always has been - and forever be my beloved Dry Hands 🙏
That castle shot was so epic. So... now time to do a playthrough on VHS?
I've been trying to reattempt what you've been doing. Still having difficulties in troubleshooting most likely due to my converter having issues. I can't wait to edit my own VCR videos of Minecraft.
The distortion along with the plain piano music gives the finished product an almost eerie feel, like those Herobrine creepypasta videos. The mineshaft and nether shots were especially reminiscent of a creepypasta of sorts.
Turned out amazing dude!
I only play modernd Minecraft, but something fascinates me about beta. The atmosphere the mechanics the builds everything so.. different
if you played the old minecraft, you wouldn't enjoy new minecraft because it doesn't feel like minecraft anymore, it's just boring, and it's hard to explain. It's like it lost its soul when Notch sold it to Microsoft
@@sadge0 Thanks to Dialko and few beta players i rediscovered beauty of old minecraft and got deep into it agin. Yep, you're right. New versions have ton of content, but there is so many things in modern version it just dont feel like that mysterious world with Soul and little breath of mystery anymore.
Sometimes less is actually more.
Rest in Pieces: TV stand
the desert village screenshot if was taken before 1.3 would have a plains village in the desert
The tape glitching out on the nether photo is genius
I really wanna get an old TV like that to watch 90s anime and cartoons. I wasn't even born until the 2000s but I love the older aesthetic.
Perfect video to start my morning with. Always a good time, and I think that you keeping editing to a minimal is part of that. Makes everything a little more grounded. :)
I loved to see the process. Nice video idea ✨✨✨
I was gonna mention that for more degradation, you can record in EP/SLP (extended play/super long play), which is a mode that runs the tape slower for recording for longer at the cost of quality, but you're already using that. The reverse, recording in SP (Standard Play) mode for best quality also applies, if you want less effect from degradation. Also, you can record to PC using a USB HDMI capture card w/ an AV to HDMI adapter to get it upscaled and deinterlaced as you record. It can amplify the "eeriness".
that final image of the mineshaft goes hard
Wow this is very unique and interesting to see. Thank you for making this amazing video
Still remember my first ever MC world, long gone, played on a now destroyed/lost dell laptop. I think I was on release 1.2.5?
Version aside I remember the wod the most. I spawned in on a jungle island that couldn't have been more than 100 blocks long and 50 blocks wide. It felt cozy yet isolated. The laptop I was on was not great, so the lower view distance made it feel even more secluded.
Imagine my shock when a short boat ride away was a giant landmass. Finally venturing out from my little island felt scary yet exciting in a way.
In my household, the family TV is a flat screen and it's been that way since sometime in the early 2010's. My family gave the old Panasonic CRT TV with a wood pattern on the sides to me instead of just throwing it out until 2018 when I got a flat screen, and now I have 2 TVs!
I dont understand why a crt would be used to invoke minecraft nostalgia when there are not from the same era
By all technicality, some people still had CRT monitors by the time Minecraft came out. Some had CRT TVs and the Xbox version of the game.
What’s less likely is that they were using VHS tapes to record gameplay, however: that would only be practically feasible if they happened to own both an Xbox and a VCR with blank tapes. Otherwise, I don’t see how it would be practical.
i mean it's nostalgic and classic minecraft is also nostaglic, combine the two and it's a perfect nostalgia mix
also if you want to get bad audio quality on vhs, record on slow speed
and if you want even worse audio quality, copy the vhs to another vhs over and over until the video is distorted.
you can make the audio even worse by having an audio cassette and a device for bgm on cassettes.
they usually sound terrible.
now copy that tape over and over to crush the audio quality
techmoan made a video about that bgm cassette music

i should make fake nostalgia bait over stuff from 2019 or something
that would be funny I think
i read the comment and was imagining how funny it'd be funny to make a nostalgia video over stuff from 2019 like fidget spinners, BATIM, and other things from 2019, then i realized that 2019 was 5 years ago
lmao make fake nostalgia bait of modern warfare 2019 or battlefield 5
nostalgic for the times before lockdowns lmao
people unironically do that
please release it as a standalone video?!! start taking in those million views
That’s an idea, actually
