If it is for you own personal use, no, it's perfectly legal. However, you may not copy the video and then rent, sell, show in public, or otherwise display the copyrighted piece. You may not GIVE it away, either, legally.
The first film with a US copyright is "Fred Ott's Sneeze" or "Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze," a five-second motion picture from 1894. It was submitted to the copyright office as a sheet of still images.
A notification is not required for protection. That being said, it normally consists of the word "copyright," the copyright symbol, the year, and the name of the rightsholder(s).
Not if you own the VHS copy and are copying it for personal use. By law you are allowed to make a "back up" copy. As long as you are not making multiple copies and distributing them there is no infringement.

The first motion pictures made in the Black Maria were deposited for copyright by W. K. L. Dickson at the Library of Congress in August 1893. The earliest copyrighted film that still survives is Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze, January 7, 1894, also known as Fred Ott's Sneeze, which records Fred Ott, an Edison employee, sneezing comically for the camera. This motion picture was not submitted to the Copyright Office on celluloid film, but rather as a series of positive photographic prints.
