    Wow. This was back in the day when you basically had to go to a comic book convention in southern California in order to meet other furs. Really good clean footage for how old the video is.

      You'd be surprised how good old tapes can look if they are cared for correctly

    Furry fandom was so tiny indeed. Very few artists and the fursuits were really imperfect. Now, it is huge. Good to see really old VHS tapes, it is really rare to see the early fandom videos. Thanks.

    Wow there's the original artwork for Xanadu #4. I was buying what they called "funny animal' comics back in 1986-88. But I was living in Wichita Kansas at the time and had no idea a fandom for Anthropomorphic art was starting to form around the same time. I didn't know the furry fandom existed until 2003!

    Furries and 60fps in the 1980s? I would've never expected that.

    • @prfo5554

      Footage from nearly any VHS tape can be converted to 60P.
      A lengthy technical description:
      Footage off of VHS tapes is technically 30 FPS but it is interlaced. This means basically that there are two pictures per frame interweaved with each other, technically called fields. This has to do with how old CRT televisions worked. CRT TVs would update one field at a time. This would create a smoothness of motion approximately equivalent to 60FPS. In order to get VHS footage, or most interlaced video for that matter, to look properly on a modern television or display, it needs to be deinterlaced. When deinterlaced using a field extension method this smoothness is preserved in 60p, but sacrifices video quality.
      A better description of deinterlaced video:

      There are also plenty of good tutorials on RUclips about deinterlacing such as this one: ruclips.net/video/sn_TDa9zY1c/видео.html
