2:40 I heard that music before, when was playing FreeDroid.

goodness this is excellent.

Ow, that's an incredible kick in the nuts (Sounds a bit like the 'NES only having Composite output' issue).
Either way, I thank you for answering my question in a helpful and intelligent manner.
Glad to know some YouTube commenter's aren't complete idiots (Though, the success rate for 'intelligent commenter's' on Demoscene related videos does seem higher then usual :p).

The VIC-20 can at best generate S-Video through an internal hack and change of connector. As far as I know neither the VIC nor the C64 (!) has any sort of RGB, perhaps not even inside the video chips. On some markets (France?) they were equipped with a daughter board to convert to RGB, which according to a friend of mine produces an even worse video signal than composite video...

If there any way to get RGB video out of the VIC-20?
Or does it run into problems with being low resolution and the such?
This version does look better than the emulated IMHO..... and sounds BILLIONS of times better!
Am I the only one that thinks this?

Gotta have to agree on the sound here. But why does it look better? The colors output from the modulator are extremely dull (didn't get around to build a composite cable for the VIC yet)

Some of the subtle effects look better. The CBM BASIC screen scrolling off, the starfield's stars at the opening have a subtle brightness variation to make them seem more like actual stars, and the landing sequence seems sharper.

That's all due to another de-interlace and blending technique used when encoding the video ... rather than just dropping frames like I did with the emulator video back then. In the emulator it should look the very same.
