Why do video tape recordings appear shaky on my my new LCD television, it also happens with shop purchased films?

I haven't bought (or played, for that matter) a VCR for years. But, it sounds like a tracking problem in the VCR. Newer VCRs have automatic tracking, where a detector notices the signal coming from the tape heads and realigns the tape transport mechanism dynamically as the tape plays. This is not always a foolproof concept, however, and you may have to use the manual tracking control (see the menu when using your remote).
When video tape goes across a VCR tape head, it does so at an angle (about 45 degrees across the tape), so that the video information is like a bunch of angled slashes across the front of the tape. This allows more video information to be stored on the magnetic tape for a given length of tape. If the tracking is off and the tape is not hitting the playback head at exactly the right place, the video signals will be picked up at just slightly the wrong time (too early or too late). And, since the sync signals in the video signal determine where on the screen the picture starts, a tracking error could cause the picture to jump up and down a bit.
This may not have been noticeable on a standard TV. But, HDTVs are terribly unforgiving when displaying the picture from a bad video signal. The slightest flaws are magnified by the HD screen, and standard TV images can look a lot worse on the HD screen than they did on a standard TV screen.

If it's actually videotape (not DVD) then it sounds like your video player is out of alignment.
You could get it fixed, but frankly you can replace them for as little as $20 or $25 dollars.
The common denominator, though, is the video tape player. The LCD TV doesn't give a damn where the signal comes from.

Do you have a 4:3 pulldown setting in your Video menu on your LCD?
Try it if you do....
In most cases it can be caused by worn video heads not penetrating the video tape deeply enough to provide the proper sync....new heads would be required on an older VCR and it's better to find a NEW VCR.....

by way of fact the 'extraterrestrial beings' are photoshy, like rather some primitive tribes. easily, there has been some reliable photos of alien deliver's, yet they're few and lots between. lots of the time, the only cameras available are those mandatory for uncomplicated snapshots. WIth video or action picture-form cameras, the photos are often taken in a hurry, and consequently unlikely to have the stability of a expert shot.

i heard that some TV screens are too big than what the movie is, so the picture comes out blurry and everything.
