Charles Paulson Ginsburg led a team that developed the first videotape machine introduced in 1956. It was a reel-to-reel device. A VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) device that used video tape packaged in a closed cassette or cartridge format was developed years later in the 1970s by several companies. They were not compatible with each other. The JVC (The Japan Victor Company) VHS format prevailed over the others and was introduced in the use by RCA in 1977.

What is the difference between a super VHS tape and a VHS tape?

Super VHS was an 'improved' version of VHS. The picture was much better. But, while you could play a VHS on a Super machine, you could NOT play a Super tape on a regular VHS machine. It never matched the mainstream success of regular VHS. ************ Most standard VHS VCR's made since 1995 can *play* S-VHS tapes but the resolution is reduced to that of standard VHS. It's called SQPB for Super-VHS Quasi-Playback. S-VHS VCRs have the S-VHS logo and a mini DIN 4 video output port and one for input. AFAIK all S-VHS VCRs also support linear stereo and Hi-Fi stereo recording and playback. Playing a standard VHS tape on an S-VHS VCR, using the S-Video out, will get you the best possible playback quality from the standard tape, but it will still be less than S-VHS.

Can you record a VHS-c tape in a VHS adapter in a VHS camcorder?

Yes, using a VHS-C adapter will allow you to record and play VHS-C tapes in a VHS machine. The adapter simply changes the casing format. The actual tape is the same. I'm not sure why you would want to, though. VHS tapes are cheaper and the tapes are longer.
