    Uploaded by Techmoan (an excellent YouTube series that covers defunct formats), this fascinating capture of a DTheater Demo tape gives us a rare look at HD 90s style.

    Techmoan also covered the format in more detail here: Retro-Tech: When HD Movies came on VHS »

    The head check, this pony tailed Yuppie gives at 1:00 is priceless. :D

    This is super cool. Technically though, any big budget movie shot on film in New York in the 90s would also be HD...
    But I guess this video has more of that high frame rate look that makes it appear more like modern TV.
