VHS

VHS (Video Home System) is a format for recording and playing back video using magnetic tape. It consists of a tape housed in a plastic cassette that can be inserted into a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder). The tape encodes video and audio signals, which the VCR reads to display moving images on a television. Introduced in the 1970s, VHS became the standard home video format for many years, offering a convenient way to watch, record, and share movies and TV shows. Its technology relies on magnetic tape to store data, similar to audio cassettes, but designed for high-quality video and sound.
