Official YouTube channel for Sydney 1986 concert?

I’m confused. It has been stated that the source is VHS, but you appear to be saying that the quality you think you can see in places implies that it must actually be from something better?

Remember also that the VHS would have been 576i if recorded in Australia, not 480i (which it would be in NTSC countries like the USA). VHS does not automatically imply 480 everywhere, and describes the number of horizontal lines making up the picture, which would always match between what is broadcast and what ends on VHS in the same country.

Yes, it is only my opinion, your information is very clear about formats and resolution. Maybe I'm wrong, but for my eyes this is better than a VHS copy (with or without AI). But the uploader words are clear too.

It is a mystery, and maybe some day we'll get complete concert in the best resolution (standard HD at the best bitrate and stereo remixed sound). Same with Wembley '85.

Personally speaking, regardless of the quality of the upscaling, the whole thing is spoilt for me by the unnecessary use of dynamic pillarbox bars left and right, to make what was originally a 4:3 image fit centred into a 16:9 frame. I find them very distracting - better to leave them completely black IMO.

Same here
