If I was to write a sci-fi story with retro futuristic technology, I'd like to use S-VHS. The in-universe explanation I can come up with was that there was a popular movement for preserving physical media by boycotting streaming services and digital only media and using physical media instead in any way possible with VHS being a popular format and it became so successful that a company brought back S-VHS and the rest was history.

I'm watching this video of yours—my first ever—despite it being 8 years old. I have to admit, your channel is proof (if ever proof were needed) that quality, educational entertainment can be found and enjoyed from independent creators like yourself. Great stuff!

I remember when Best Buy was selling these. might have been 2003
I can't remember what was playing on the TV set they had but I do remember the silver cases for the movies.

Imagine being an early adopter of HD and the only way you can watch movies is by using a fucking VHS and a fancy VCR

It's been 8 years, and I've only just gone 4K, now that 4K TVs are dirt cheap, and games consoles come with UHD Blu-Ray player. How times change.

Before watching this video i would never thought that hd content also came with VHS. The image of vhs in my mind is noisy video with lots of distortion

HD on vhs look amazing but the image sure does light blink a lot, like the light of the image is constantly shimmering on the crt and it is not the crt that is the cause

Based on watching this, I purchased a D-VHS deck. Partly to have a good VCR to help digitize my childhood home videos, and to actually see HD on VHS. So cool! Just if there was a straight forward way to convert component to HDMI. So many darkened and crushed blacks with the $20 Amazon converters. I found the OSSC is good, so long as you increase the brightness from 128 to 140. Also shocked the chapter selection works! No clue how, but it works!

Hey @techmoan, I have a W-VHS deck that I’m willing to loan to you if you want to make a video about this format. Here’s hoping I’m able to acquire a W-VHS blank tape as well.

Let me know if you are interested.

I remember seeing D-Theather tapes in the local Videoland videotheek in 1998, wondering how this would be played. Later in that year I saw a D-Theater VHS recorder in a shop and thinking, that’s pricy.
