The Magic of VHS and how SLP/EP May Have Ruined It - VHS Produced Version - 5K Subscriber Special

Описание: To celebrate 5000 subscribers, I’m making this video a little different. This entire video is going to be presented on VHS. You’re watching a direct capture from good ol’ VHS, recorded in SP mode with HiFi audio. Don’t worry, there’s a 4K version of this video as well… link in the video description below. I know some of you won’t be able to watch this whole video in standard definition, and to be honest, it was tough for me, too.

But in all seriousness, when you stop to think about it, VHS really is magical. I remember when we got our very first VHS machine in the early 1980s… one just like this Hitachi… just having the ability to record something and watch it later was amazing. The era of time-shifting had begun. Skipping commercials, recording one thing and watching another… all that became a reality, and all thanks to an ingenious system and some magnetic tape. Did VHS have its limitations? Of course. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Let’s take a look today at the magic that happens inside a VHS video tape recorder and see how one of the ingenious features that shaped our lives may have also been the culprit in our bad experiences with the format.
