I think he's correct here.
MPEG-2 will surely have longevity for decades more, but H.264 with have at least the same longevity, and displaced by at least 15 years further down the road. H.264 is also now far more ubiquitous than MPEG-2 ever was.
You failed to mention it was all by hand, not an automatic process.
Its funny to watch people.. go.. "you can't, you can't, you can't" .. and then "they do".Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

The EDV-9500 is a great machine but the DOC on those is very ancient compared to modern VHS JVC machines, Take a look at this screen shot that I recently captured from a similar machine (EDV-7300) and look at the noise line due to tape drop outs, I don't know how it works but it certainly doesn't use neighboring lines like modern DOC's.
-
It even does not look like a regular drop-out… or it has been altered in a strange way, regular drop outs are thicker, and have a more random thickness over the length…
there's also a random pattern bar just above that, there isn't a device that radiates RF interferrence ? like a Plasma screen ? -
-
RF drop outs range from a portion of line (in digital we call few pixels) to several lines, no not random. Yes de-interlacing may have altered its look little bit.
The other noise patterns are interference noise, not sure how the tapes were recorded or from where they were recorded, I got those ED Beta tapes with the machine when I bought it. But it could be anything, bad TV transmission, RF appliance noise, bad and unshielded cables ...etc. -
Recently i picked up a VHS vcr a cheap version (@thrift) out of the JVC range, and it does very strange things with noise bars, or when tracking, it's kind of blocky pattern…. real strange..
It's a shame Betamax did not go through, There a lots of VHS vcr's with different features, or qualities you would not expect.
I've about 9 vcr's mostly JVC's and a few odd ones like Sharp, LG and Philips, and they differ a lot from each other, only one stands out .. a Panasonic, which i use most of the time.
I guess Sony would be best for the Betamax "camp" ? there were still a lot of them ? but not many are now at thrift stores, construction was bad ?
