I just have to ask... why? VHS -> BD can in no way look good... unless it's like a MINI DV inside a VHS converter to BD.

Well, I know people backed up vhs to dvd, so I guess this is moving on. I dont see where its a big hit though. I havent had a vhs since 2000.

Is it a digital VHS?? That would be the only way it would make sense

Automated translation is getting better, see I.

Yeah I read that on another site and wondered WTF?

Of course, Blu-Ray SL blanks are now cheaper per GB thank DL DVD blanks. However, I wouldn't waste a DL DVD to digitize VHS. That's what 20 cents each SL DVD+-R's are for.
