Are video enhancers worth the money?  I never worried about them before 
because second generation tapes were such garbage that no amount of effort
could make them viewable.  However superBeta makes very reasonable copies.
I routinely make second generate masters of skits edited out of television
shows.  I also have some third generation copies that are still very good
on a TV, and acceptable on a projector.  However, there are some color
changes.  Subtle color shifts, perhaps some increase in contrast.  Would
one of the "better" video enhancers solve these problems?  Or would they
degrade the signal worse because they were designed pre-superBeta and
expected to work with a much worse signal?

What are some of the "better" enhancers?

Anyone out there use these criters?
