The Video Home System (VHS) is a standard for consumer-level use of analog recording on videotape cassettes. It was developed by Victor Company of Japan (JVC) in the 1970s.
From the 1950s magnetic tape video recording became a major contributor to the television industry, via the first commercialized video tape recorders (VTRs). At that time, the devices were used only in expensive professional environments such as television studios and medical imaging (fluoroscopy). In the 1970s videotape entered home use, creating the home video industry and changing the economics of the television and movie businesses. The television industry viewed VCRs as having the power to disrupt their business, while television users viewed the VCR as the means to take control of their hobby.
In the 1980s and 1990s, at the peak of VHS's popularity, there were videotape format wars in the home video industry. Two of the formats, VHS and Betamax, received the most media exposure. VHS eventually won the war, succeeding as the dominant home video format throughout the tape media period.
EXPLANATION BELOW: I'm restarting up a second account at the moment where I archive rare things on the Internet. You can find that channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AgentDoubleOOP2 Anyway, part of what I do is recording shows off my old VHS tapes that haven't been properly available for purchase. A couple of a weeks ago, we were at a White Elephant sale where we could take any miscellaneous knick-knacks left for free-- first come first serve and all that. There was a random VHS tape left in a box devoted to outdated computer software. Here's the tape: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/legotronn/AgentOOP/thevideotape.jpg Vague enough, right? For the most part, it pretty much delivers that. There's a Disney Channel Original Movie on it called Rip Girls, then this FOX report on some...

I acquired this tape at a boot sale a few months ago. I bought a box of VHS tapes for 50p. I never viewed this particular tape until today but when I did I thought how odd it was. The tape was made by a Company called National Video..The editing is bad even by 80's standards. The HiFi term should indicate that it's in stereo and while my VHS player recognizes it as such, the odd thing is the soundtrack is mono while the interference on the tape is in stereo. Very Odd. The House music and dodgy graphics at the end are also bizarre . What was the tape supposed to demonstrate I wonder. The imagery is so odd I've uploaded it up for others to mull over...
