Somewhere out there on the WWW is hierarchical rank-
list of most all video formats you've ever heard of. In order
of quality. But I can't find my link to it, and I can't come up
with the right key words for a Google search to find it. :-(

S-VHS is indeed better than VHS, but not likely better than
DV. It wouldn't surprise me if S-VHS was better than MPEG2
(DVD quality).
