Since this is a VCR question, it all has to do with the speed the tape runs through the VCR. The faster the tape, the higher the quality of the video you're recording because the recorder is able to put more picture information on the tape.

SP, or standard speed will allow a VHS tape to record for a period of 2 hours and will provide the highest quality picture. EP (which has for the most part, been dropped by the manufacturers) would record for four hours and LP, which is the slowest speed, will record for six hours, but with degraded video. This is of course, based on the standard VHS cassette. They do make an 8 hour tape, which will run at approximately 2 hrs and 40 minutes at SP, 5 hours and 40 minutes at EP, and eight hours at lp. Most stores don't carry the T-160 tapes and they are a bit more expensive.

Most VCR's manufactured today will still play an EP recorded tape, but cannot record at that speed.

What is the difference in sp spp lp ep slp ho in record mode?

In record mode, "sp" typically refers to standard play, while "spp" indicates a special play mode. "lp" stands for long play, which allows for extended recording time at the expense of quality. "ep" or extended play offers a compromise between quality and recording duration. "slp" is super long play, maximizing recording time but significantly lowering quality, whereas "ho" generally refers to high-output modes that prioritize quality over duration.
