VHS Cassettes were particularly popular. The period of production is the best proof of that. Only in July 2016 – no less than 40 years after its introduction – the last VHS devices rolled off the assembly line.

Subtypes

We can find all kinds of cassettes under the term ‘VHS’. For example, think of VHS-C (Compact Cassette), S-VHS (Super VHS), W-VHS (Double VHS) and D-VHS (Digital VHS). Their playing time varies, depending on the tape length and the recording/playing speed. The maximum was somewhere around 8 hours.
