Oh that's right I forgot. It's stored kind of like color TV information is broadcast, more or less. But the color information is much lower quality than RF. Specifically because the color information is limited to 629kHz, and there are fewer lines of resolution.
So I guess it'd be better to use a SVHS machine, assuming it's spitting out the raw YC info from the VHS tape and not doing any weird combining and then splitting business.
