VHS

The VHS (short for Video Home System) is a tape that can be used in a VHS player, and was often used from the 1970s to 1990s. It was largely made obsolete by the DVD.

The VHS was developed in 1971 in Japan by Yuma Shiraishi and Shizuo Takano, who worked for JVC. However, the VHS was not actually released until 1976. Currently, most of the VHS tapes produced are blank tapes meant for recording.
