Enter pure quality with DV! "It comes on tape so you have to rewind! But that is no tedium for 1970's tech junkies, it just blows their VHS VTR away!"
As I type, I'm making an 8-hour recording onto VHS (SLP, on a '180), with audio quality better than CD (Hi-Fi Stereo). Video quality is suffering (SLP mode, remember?) but all that there is for video is song titles :/
DVD and Blu-Ray are far superior to VHS. VHS back the day was nice. The problem with tapes were they are prone to degrading fast. I use to watch VHS quite a bit in the late 90's to 2002. I watched one tape so much it was unwatchable within a year. Blu-Ray is a step in the right direction. Most people don't know that Blu-Ray technology was first tested in the 70's.
yeah but if a dvd is just a little bit scratched it does not work AT ALL with VHS it will last a long time with care let's face it if people improved the VHS to be HD then we would still have our $20 VCR's and not our $600 Blu-Rays i remember going to the store and the vhs said to rewind it after watching and the beep at the beginning NOSTALGIA IS RUINED!
Only if the scratches are deep. Tapes are an okay format. Good now if you want cheap movies. DVD and Blu-Ray are the way to go. Funny you mentioned VHS being HD. There were Widescreen VHS on the market a few years ago. They were so expensive they did not take off.
i said if they WERE in HD at the time then dvds would have never taken off they would be like betamax, better quality at the time but no good sales remember when DVDs had just came out at the 1999/2000 season and they were $2000? what a ripoff but since it had no competors it won
I do remember when DVD first came out. The players were pretty damn expensive. The movies were 25-30 dollars. TV DVD sets were outrageously priced.Glad that Blu-Ray came along. DVD is affordable at most retail and online stores. Blu-Ray is slowly coming down in price. Older movies on Blu-Ray can be had for DVD prices. If you shop around.
if Blu-Ray get's to a good price i'll get it i just wish VHS was still supported i mean you can still have DVD and Blu-Ray also i just love when you fast forward and rewind on VHS a line would appear and it would go at 4X with DVD it's just a still image every 5 seconds
There is something special about VHS.DVD is a little to convenient. I still watch tapes every now and then. VHS is still good for those movies that have not been officially transferred to DVD or Blu-Ray.
Won't work at all. I read the same lie on a website bashing dvd before it even came out. That is such a lie and makes you like some fanboy for vhs. I mean it's really an idiotic statement. LOL.
it also had little recording time than both VHS and Beta, and the hardware was prone to malfunction. Althought they did rectify those problems in a later model in 1985, the damage to their reputation was too much for the public to believe in it anymore.
WHAT? Video 2000 was the same size as a VHS cassette and was double-sided, like an audio cassette. There were 4 hours on each side of the tape, meaning an LP model could fit a staggering *16 hours* onto the tape. It always had a longer recording/playback time.
Much like the sales of VHS tapes didn't increase when standard def. DVDs hit the market, the sales of standard def. DVDs won't increase in the face of attractively-priced blue-ray media/hardware.
The price of blu-ray discs and hardware (includihng HD monitors) will continue to fall, rendering standard def. DVD increasingly irrelevant.
vhs is awsome i still have a toploader never saw the reason to upgrade to a new format besides most new movies suck so why bother if i have to see them so bad ill go to my frends house :P
@dentonscheibal3 the are BluRay+VHS systems available now from panasonic (as insane as that sounds) VHS isnt quite dead yet. (a pity that D-VHS wasn't released earlier. it oculd have given us the HD digital picture of DVDs with the recordability of VHS. Ah, well. I suppose we have Tivos and HTPCs for that now.)
I dont remember seeing the VHS much except at other peoples places. But I do remember seeing the old tapes is my house. VHS was a revolutionary product. If there was no VHS there would be no DVD. It was the idea of some gr8 person who thought of making a cassette that can store video.
DVD or some other optical storage medium would have had successful mainstream penetration regardless of VHS's existence. DVD is more of an evolution of CD-ROM technology.
I got a bundle of VHS movies the other day for free from a family member. Some of them date back to as far as 1986. I only own about 10 VHS tapes now. The rest are all HD or Widescreen DVD's. Haven't had cash to get Blue-Ray yet. I like watching VHS every now and then mostly old pre-recorded shows i have on VHS. Hopefully Blu-Ray wins the DVD war. I hear you can fit more on a Blue-Ray disc anyways so helps with quality and quantity of content on the disc.
I've been watching old VHS tapes, and they don't blink, and their quality is decent. It was a old Indiana Jones, I think Raiders of the Lost Arc when it came out. What about DVD's getting scratched? They all have their problems, but I do think things that have to do with magnetism are awfully cool >.>.
I mean the reasons why its evil. He states they have evil friends, are shiny, and cut peoples heads off. All of these, i hope, were jokes. Whats the big deal with dvds overtaking vhs, its like saying that solid state drives are evil because the have many advantages over hardrives.
cool video, but they forgot to mention LaserDisc, the format that was the primary reason why CDs and DVDs were possible! introduced two years after VHS and four years before CD, it was ahead of it's time and far superior to VHS, but like Video 2000 and Betamax, it has also disappeared but it's technology went on to inspire the CD, DVD, HD-DVD and now the Blu-Ray Disc, and so therefor it was LaserDisc that was the source of the digital world we all know and love today!
Why are there so many VHS tapes that starting to breeze and/or blink? Tapes from the 90's do have those problem as many older ones. Or did I get some VHS tapes of low quality back then?
No, VHS is no match for DVD which has far better voice and picture quality. For that you need an SVHS or DVHS tape I guess.
Hopefully someone will make a DVD vs. HD-DVD vs. Bluray video and post it when the dvd war is over. DVDs still account for most digital movie sales, but sales are slowing down due to the advent of Internet video, on demand cable, and a slowing economy.
well it totally rocks but cmon, this is their style to the T. that house turning, the VHS comign appart, the trees drawing on. all Im saying is experiment, find something new to bring to the table.
Im not saying Im that good, far from it. and its not necissarily a bad thing, I love old mk12, and miss it. In fact I checked out the site and the rest of the Musclebeaver stuff is pretty different and unique.
I guess I gotta eat breakfast before I communicate with any human, lest I act an ass

randomherov2 3 years ago
I suppose that makes sense, but for some reason I think it will take longer for blu ray to catch on than it did for dvd to.
zedrein18 3 years ago
From a consumer perspective, the only advantage blu-ray has over standard def. DVD is the fact that blu-ray is HD.
I guess once the cost of blu-ray equipment and HD sets drop dramatically enough, we might see more widespread adoption of the format.
