VHS

VHS stands for Video Home System and is the name of a type of videotape cassette. It entered the format war alongside Betamax in the late 70s–early 80s and ultimately won before DVD and Blu-ray came onto the scene in the 90s and 00s.

This is the tag page for VHS where you’ll read about VHS technology including videotapes and VHS culture.
