http://vaot.mydns.jp/hikaku.htm Hikaku = "comparison". Describes his video tests and links to this folder containing the files. If you're going to check them out, just grab hikaku_all.rar from the site or my mirror below, since it includes all of the other files/folders. I think all of the tests were done in S-VHS mode, with no regular VHS testing.

http://vaot.mydns.jp/oto.htm Oto = "sound". Tests of VCR audio frequency response.

http://vaot.mydns.jp/WVHS.htm W-VHS test, including (poor) resolution wedge.

http://vaot.mydns.jp/fc/ FC = Famicom? On the index page, this is listed as "Defeat game machines by tapping" according to Google Translate.

A crazy number of capture devices compared using some test patterns. I don't really understand the goals or the layout of this site though.
