If you wanted to record video in the late 1960's and early 1970's you would have had to do it using a huge reel to reel recording machine. These machines were very expensive and difficult to operate and really only used in film recording studios.
Then in the 1970's, video cassette players were invented. These smaller, lighter and more cost effective devices allowed home users to record video from their TV or cameras. Initially two competing technologies were available, called Betamax invented by Sony and the other called VHS (The video home system) by JVC.
By the early 1980's the laser disc was invented and eventually led to the DVD and blueray optical video storage systems we know today which surplanted the video cassette recorder.
