To have true VHS effect, I think we should train AI for this, examples from digital videos to record on true VHS tape, on multiples VHS devices then digitalize and calculate difference between original and digitalized from VHS.
Then even we could have filter like: VHS Panasonic, VHS Sony...
This would be very interesting project.
I might argue that generating and decoding an actual NTSC signal, as the OP project does, would be true in ways that a generative model based on all of that would not be.
Can't you just cut out the AI from this pipeline by recording footage onto VHS and then digitizing that?
I think the idea would be allowing arbitrary videos to be converted without the need for a working tape drive
