VHS stands for Video Home System; it uses a VHS Tape that has been around since the early 1980s. The VHS Tapes are used in a VCR which stands for Video Cassette Recorder. The VCR records and plays back VHS and VHS-C tapes. Other video tape formats from the 1980s and 1990s are VHS-C, Reg 8, and Hi-8. Many tapes have family recordings in danger of being lost.
