Collection: VHS Tapes Cassettes

VHS is short for Video Home System which is a analogue video recording on tape cassettes.

In the 1970s, videotape entered home use, creating the home video industry. 

In the later 1970s and early 1980s, there was a format war between the two standards, VHS and Betamax. VHS eventually won the war, by winning 60% of the North American market by 1980 and emerging as the dominant home video format throughout the tape media period.

Optical disc formats later began to offer better quality than VHS. First came LaserDisc, Then eventually DVD in 1996, however there is an amazing and vibrant collectors community that keeps VHS still going today.
