you can see that it's perfectly stable, as would be expected.

Isn't this an NTSC broadcast capture, not VHS?

Here is the archived version of that guy's webpage, containing some nice breakdowns of the concepts involved here, the source code, and his thesis.

I believe the source code for the Raspberry Bi low-FPS realtime NTSC decoder is also available, though I'm not sure it would offer anything useful. Any more links to that VCR-RF capture guy though?

I'm sort of surprised that you thought there would be more to it. In the article about the Betacam "Full RF" capture method, I don't think they ever mention increasing the definition that could be captured.

I'm also curious what would be necessary to digitize and then decode an S-Video signal instead of composite.
