And while the product back then was recorded in digital 240p on Magnetic tape.That was cutting edge technology for the day.

Not all of the Tapes could be revived. Some of the shows were lost to degradation and could not be saved / converted.This is an Actual Studio Photo of the REAL VirtuaGirl Tapes.

Not just some random photo of a tape collection.
Technology at it's finest !

Awesome picture, thanks for sharing it with us!

Another detail that isn't commonly mentioned is how well the background of each recording/clip is removed, even back when the algorithms to automate that process were still on their early stages of development. This can be confirmed, for instance, by checking the clips from classic collection, which still look pretty well considering the moment in which they were recorded and processed. We could say that Totem has always been ahead of the available technology from each moment.

Even now, with a lot of professional software that does that job pretty well if there's uniform background (chroma key) and the irruption of the AI in the latest years, the results offered by iStripper are still in a far higher level of quality, looking already nearly perfect at the current moment. So, it seems that there's a lot of postprocessing and work behind this procedure until obtaining these excellent results, which is therefore worth mentioning for its appreciation.
