VHS

VHS stands for Video Home System and was developed by Victor Company of Japan (JVC) as a consumer analog videotape-based cassette.
The VTR, or Video Tape Recorder, was invented by the AMPEX Corporation in 1956. The VRX-1000 was the first unit. At a cost of $50,000 USD in 1956, only television networks could afford the unit.
The VHS cassette is a 187 mm wide, 103 mm deep, 25 mm thick plastic shell held together with five Phillips head screws. The recording media is a 12.7 mm wide magnetic tape wound between two spools, allowing it to be slowly passed over the various playback and recording heads of the video cassette recorder (VCR).
The VHS VCR was a mainstay in the American living room for more than 20 years. In March of 1997, DVDs were introduced to the American consumer and this marked the decline of VHS.

VHS-C

The VHS-C video format was first introduced in 1982, primarily for the purpose of consumer-grade handheld video cameras.
The magnetic tape used in VHS-C is the same as VHS, but the plastic shell is more compact, requiring a mechanical adapter to play the tape in a VCR.

Hi8

In the 1980s, Sony introduced Video Hi8 (high-band Video 8) to compete with the Super VHS format. Video 8 equipment can play Hi8 recordings, but not very well.
The effects of the smaller head drum and tape made recorders susceptible to tape “drop out,” which is when magnetic particles are eroded from the tape surface. In this instance, the larger head drums of the VHS and Betamax proved more beneficial.

MiniDV

The MiniDV tape is one format of digital video. Digital video, or DV, was introduced in 1995 and offers four different tape sizes.
DV uses “lossy video compression,” which means that it compresses video by discarding some of it. Lossy compression is used primarily for video, audio, and images for easier handling by the computer. The audio in DV is stored uncompressed.
MiniDV was intended for amateur use but soon was accepted by video professionals.
In 1999, Sony developed Digital8, but it was not as popular as MiniDV, and it was discontinued in 2007.
As of 2013, MiniDV tapes were still in use, but popularity was moving in the direction of memory cards and iCloud technology.
