Best.Episode.Ever |

You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll go to the kitchen to make a sammich. |
 |
Meh. Good enough for prime-time. |
 |
Decent if you've got nothing better to do. |
 |
Look, nobody said that what the monkeys came up with would be good. |
Video Quality
|
Broadcast Quality |
|
VCR Quality. May have brief minor tracking or clarity issues. |
|
Contains artifacts due to VHS tracking resulting in occasional momentary loss of video or audio. |
|
Constant artifacts due to tracking/source quality. Difficult to watch. |
|
Tape was run over by a car. Very poor quality. |
Audio Quality
|
Like the Boston Symphony Orchestra |
|
Clean, well rendered audio, of proper volume. No major flaws or weaknesses, but not as rich or full as 5 |
|
Audible hiss or scratchyness, or distracting noise, or severly clipped range, or significantly lowered volume. |
|
Distorted audio on a significant portion, such that listening is difficult, rendering lines unintelligable, or if audio cuts out. |
|
Have you ever drowned a cat? |
Encode Quality
|
Significantly better than the source. Outstanding craftmanship in applying digital filters to both audio and video. |
|
|
No Discernable motion blocks. The video is smooth and consistant. All standards are followed. |
|
Analog or digital artifacts are present in some scenes. Effort was made to clean up the source, but you can still tell it came from a VHS tape. Minor deviations from DAP standards. |
|
Excessive macroblocking or other playback problems, including noticible loss of A/V sync. Little effort was made to clean up the source, or cleanup efforts would have been futile. |
|
Why did you even bother? |
|
Overall Quality
|
Archival Quality. Flawless audio and video. No compression artifacts. |
|
|
VCR quality audio and video. No major compression or digital artifacts.Complete and well edited. |
|
Tracking errors or audible hissing/popping resulting in momentary loss of audio/video. Compression artifacts present during high motion scenes. May be missing short segments. |
|
Constant artifacts due to tracking/poor source. Difficult to watch. Poor compression resulting in macroblocking or otherwise inhibiting playback. |
|
Might as well get a bootleg VCD from Hong Kong. |
