The video cassette recorder, also known as VCR is a electronic device capable of recording t.v. programs live and taped. It can also record satellite, cable, on demand programs and can record from a DVD player. VHS tapes with pre-recorded movies can be purchased or rented at some video stores, though they are quickly being phased out. So your best bet would be to check with online stores such as Amazon to find the best selection. Many titles can be purchased in Dollar General stores, flea markets and yard sales. Blank VHS tapes for recording still be purchased at most retail department stores, and are relatively inexpensive.

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.
