5. Good questions

I have multiple projects. I still have film to convert to digital. These can be digitized frame by frame with a converter, and the playback is said to be very good. I think they make mp4 files.

Also I have VHS, camcorder type as well as full size. My DVD deck will record on DVD from VHS though I never figured out how to do it and I doubt it's digital.

So it was really a question about a new Smart TV. I was going to ditch the analog one but it's had light use and was the best picture of any CRT I ever had. I think some of this stuff about picture quality, distortion, won't be solved until I do some conversions and compare the two. But the goal simply must be to use smart TV's because that's what there are now. Can't rely on analog long term, but can see if intermittent steps for analog make playback any better on smart TVs when digitized.

THanks for the help.
