Video Home System

Hello, friends )

VHS (Video Home System) is the most common format for recording video cassettes. Developed by the Japanese company JVC (Victor Company of Japan, Ltd.), it was introduced in 1976. In the same year, the first cassettes appeared in Eurasia, and the following year - in the United States.

With the development of VHS, the era of home video began. In 2002, according to JVC, more than 900 million video devices of this format and even more videotapes were sold worldwide.

The end of the life cycle

After the advent of DVDs and players, the existence of VHS videotapes became meaningless, as they were inferior to the new formats in terms of technical capabilities and usability.

In 2008, JVC stopped producing VCRs.However, some people still buy them, but usually choose a combination device rather than just a VCR.

The last major supplier of VHS cassettes, Florida-based Distribution Video Audio, announced that the batch of VHS cassettes produced in October 2008 was the last. “This format is dead. And this Christmas will be the last one,” said the company's CEO. “All we have to do is get rid of what's left in the warehouse.

On July 21, 2016, its last manufacturer, Funai, announced that it would completely stop producing VHS video recorders.
