LOL.  He thinks he's "scientific" but he doesn't tell us much about what he 
measured.  What was the frequency?  What is the time scale on the scope 
shot?  Does the jitter depend on frequency?  Isn't VCR digital?  What's the 
spectrum of the noise?  And of course you can't ever question anything he 
does or says.

If someone would be willing to post a short *.wav clip of one of these 
moogey waveforms, it should be quite simple to analyze the spectrum.
