I just watched the documentary feature "Lata in her own voice" and am a fan of it as I'm a very big Lata fan (mostly songs from the 50s and 60s are of my liking).

The best part is that the songs in the feature look great in terms of quality (in spite of being sourced from VHS cassettes). And they seem 24 fps NTSC as there's no speed shift I've noticed.

The songs are subtitled really well. I'm feeling inspired..

The audio in every song sounds clear. Even clearer than the DVD audio and OST tracks.

Are the Channel 4 VHS too like that? I'd be only too happy to get hold of a VHS player (or may take them from the memsaab website.)

Any confirmations?

Gee! Now I wish I was born 30 years ago :lol:

Hey! Those were my tapes expertly transferred to DVD by the ever talented Tommydan. If you haven't yet seen it you should also check out movie mahal.

Yes. That was the name of the uploader I saw. I'm really happy with the quality, the audio quality in particular. A few songs like "Chandni Raaten Pyar Ki Baaten", "Kahin Deep Jale Kahin Dil", "Lag Ja Gale Se" and "Bahon Mein Chale Aao" sounded amazing. They didn't even let me feel that the songs were old recordings. The subtitles too are translated very well.

Thanks! Will definitely check "Mahal".

Saw the "heroines" episode. Very interesting...

Also saw a couple of vintage classics in spectacular quality. Much better than other DVD versions available now.

Can't wait to see the restored version of Pakeezah in its OAR.

Someone has voted "no". I require an explaination. That's because I'm really attracted to VHS tapes and want to know if there were such limitations.

Thanks.
