Don't have time to watch now.

It's not the end of the world not having S-video if the comb/notch filters in the VCR are good.

S-VHS-ET is great because you can put S-VHS recordings on plan old VHS tape stock. I did a lot of that before I switched my main media to DVD, then a few years later went full digital for HD recording. I gotta start saving the discs. Tape lasts centuries if stored right, digital on HDD lasts as long as you have 2 copies and check them for function, but recordable DVDs die fast and easily especially if exposed to sunlight...
