vhs screeners

i dont believe that vhs scr actually exist in this day and age....a lot of releases are tagged vhs scr but im sure they are just hd cam rips or similar second vision rip....even early release stuff that you would find on a boat or a plane is 4.3 and poor quality not vhs anymore....am i right ?

Seems that movie studios are moving away from VHS screeners though more than likely they'll continued to be used as they are quicker and easier to use than DVDs for screening purposes when time is a major constraint.

While there are less and less VHS screeners and more and more mislabeled releases they aren't *quite* dead yet, just mostly. Another five or so years and I'd say it would be safe to say it's extinct, some older people just like the old technology their used to and some of those people are part of the academy/ratings group.

OH WAIT...I'M BACK

"Today (9/20/08) I received from Warner Bros. the first offer of the option to choose Blu-Ray disks, rather than straight DVDs. Since I haven't transitioned to HDTV yet, I won't go there, at least this year. I was wondering when the studios would start to go this way with these screeners. By next year I expect these offers to become the norm, although it did take several years for DVDs to replace VHS tapes totally and become the standard medium.".............




this is from ken rudolph's site....now i consider him old school as he is not into bd as yet......quality comments coming from the average joe talk about vhs screeners....what they mean in my eyes is vhs quality like when not so long ago you would copy a vhs tape several times and end up with a poor quality result....but i cant imagine where a vhs tape would be used now....every screening room would be set up for digital presentation whether on hard disc or dvd disc.....

Where do you get this info from? (not takin the piss, thought dvd's would be quicker and easier than vhs)

most studios today deliver screeners in DVD or H264 quicktime format.

in a post production environment lots of h264 screeners are transfered via ftp these days. (and then deleted after being watched etc)

i highly doubt theres many vhs screeners still around lol
