Why did VHS tapes go away in 2004?

DVD took over the market and there was no longer enough demand for VHS.


You have many many VHS tapes of movies that you taped years ago that are still okay. Any suggestions as to what to do with them... I use DVD's now and not VHS tapes?

See if your local library would like them.


Did Disney release a Pinocchio VHS tape in 1969?

No, because commercially produced VHS tapes didn't exist in 1969, besides that, the first Pinocchio VHS wasn't released until 1995.


Do you have any DVD recorders in the modern time out in the stores that you can use to download any of your old VCR tapes besides recording tapes on DVD disc?

VHA tapes are linear, analog recording systems. There is no way to download anything from VHS tapes other than by playing the tape and capturing the content using another recorder such as a DVD recorder. The quality of the recording will remain a typical VHS quality but once the content is captured in a digital format, it can be loaded on to a computer and possibly enhanced to eliminate some of the usual problems of VHS quality.


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.
