It was such a pleasure to co-narrate in this documentary with you. I was really happy to help with the editing of the narration and to provide you with VHS footage of Fireman Sam. It would be a pleasure to co-narrate on the LaserDisc documentary. Thank you so much for letting me narrate with you. I hope we do it again soon. :)
Now that is a well-documented history of VHS... CCG88!!!! This is probably the best VHS documentary that I have seen so far, because you have explained the history of VHS and the format war history very well and both Quinn and your narration is simply just excellent!! But what I wished one format won the war would be Philips Video 2000, because it can record both sides. Also... good luck making the Laserdisc documentary and brilliant video as of always... CCG88!!!! :D :) ;)
Philips were massive jerks. They forced the price to increase on VHS because they complained to the UK about japanese companies making VHS and Beta, and caused prices to increase for a while. It came to bite them when Philips made their own VHS machines, karma is something that comes up a lot with them.
I freaking love VHS. Collecting VHS movies is my favorite hobby. When you can get tapes for 50 cents a pop at Goodwill, it's easy to take a chance on movies you might not bother with otherwise and you find some interesting stuff that way.
I’m a 90s kid. My family still have those old VHS tapes from the 90s, so I am able to see what I look like as a toddler in a kinetic format. But since I have my memories, VCD and DVD basically dominates my childhood, and then I just get everything from the Internet. But still, our generation got huge benefits from the VHS, along with all other technologies from the end of the 20th century that shaped the pop culture. That might be the reason I‘m into the Vaporwave and retro arts.
I think the reason they would sell a VCR Blu-Ray combo is because BR is already backwards compatible with DVDs. Therefore you actually have a 3 in 1 machine that let's you play VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray. I thought that seemed quite obvious.
In my opinion video tape was the best invention from the last century. At was pretty versatile. DVD discs you can buy but you can't re-record over them with the same machine. I love the format for that.
16:44 is the damage part. Thanks to the “Agamemnon Counterpart” video. This was inspired by one of the so-called “Creepypastas”. VHS was the thing. I had loads of VHS in my life. It’s still a pop culture, and also part of my childhood memories. Back in the 1990’s, I buy VHS tapes from Disney and a few other companies that they put out by film studios at the time, and also blank VHS tapes for recording movies, cartoons, TV shows, etc. and don’t count on porn. In the late 1970’s and throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, they put out porno titles on VHS and it was suitable for adults only and it can be shown privately without disturbing your parents. Many of them contains sexual content that might be shocking and disturbing for viewers. Maybe they should be aware of the porno titles that were on VHS for so many years. Companies like VCI, VCA, Caballero Control and others also put out a series of porno titles back in the 1980’s and 1990’s. One of the very first home video companies was Magnetic Video from 1977. They put out a series of movies that were available on VHS and Betamax until 1981. It was known for its memorable opening with the Muzak playing in the background and voiceover which was part of the staple. There were videos on UA-cam that has the opening to every VHS release from Magnetic Video between 1977 through 1981. Other companies also jumped on the bandwagon like Media Home Entertainment (originally MEDA), Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment, MCA Videocassette, Walt Disney Home Video, Paramount Home Video, Vestron, and others distributors also came in. And in addition, by 1979, a defunct photo developing service called Fotomat where they put out a series of movies for rental as part of the “Drive-Thru Movies” line. It was available at selected Fotomat kiosks locations back in the 1980’s where you can rent movies or buy movies for an expensive prices. It has movies that were from Paramount and others. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long until Fotomat discontinued by 1981 or so. These were definitely hard to find, and it was considered as collector’s items. It also has the memorable Fotomat logo at the beginning. The opening is on UA-cam.
I got some big news! If you have seen this video, guess what? VHS is making a comeback, for real! People got tired of streaming services paying their fees, and now, they’re taking it on a new direction of going back to its old ways. DVD and Blu-ray are the losers of physical media, and the sales are way down in the gutter, and I hope VHS will be coming back. I will one of these days, I will do an update video on this special which is the expanded edition.
Correct! The last major VHS release in retail stores was A History Of Violence in 2006 and the last major VHS release EVER was Cars in 2007, although that one is pretty rare now because it was a Disney Movie Club exclusive.
Yes, and South Korea was still releasing films on VHS until at least the early 2010s. In fact, the first film ever to be released on the format was a South Korean film called “Young Teacher” in 1976.
And as of now, VHS is making a big comeback, and it has been 10 years since VHS has been discontinued. Streaming services pays too much money, and DVD and Blu-ray sales are down, and now VHS is their best hope to bring it back. VHS, here we come!

Wonderful documentary! I enjoyed it a lot! And as well, I loved VHS tapes back when I was young, and we still have our old tapes to this day!
Please keep your RLE Series going, but I really like this Cam. Good Luck with your LazerDisc Documentary.

21:44 😂😂😂😂😂
this is the first move with the inn movie
Yay! Hope this will turn out well!
Therw was actually a rare VJS release of Cars.
Why is it rare? The vhs version (in my mind) didn't sell well as the DVD version.

I bought my first BETAMAX in Okinawa in the late 70s.

The early years of my life were recorded on a Super VHS-C.
I grew up with the DVD (Digital Versatile Disc).
I missed the premier........ dangit
Nice Documentary! 10/10!!!
Pretty Cool Document Cam
Even though VHS discontinued in 2016, major studios stopped releasing content onto VHS in after 2007

I love VHS tapes, but you've gotta check out this thing called Laserdisc, man...I'm not joshing, josh, it's the future of home video entertainment.
I did a documentary on LaserDisc. ua-cam.com/video/X1ZDPuvXibs/v-deo.html
75 LIKES ON THE VIDEO = LASERDISC
My VCR is made by GoVideo
I own one of the blu ray combos. I had a good reason to get it.
Around 21 Minutes in:
Maybe it was so you could record your VHS onto a Bluray disc?
Very Good! 👐 👏 👐 👏 👐 👏
r/EmojiPolice
20:30 I have that VCR/DVD player
And 200 Likes = DVD Documentary 1995 to 2019
That will never happen cause this channel is not seen by other viewers that much
Showing Tracking error ;-)
awesome job. :)
2:58 SCREEN GEMS x2
Then I went to Super Beta in the 80s to Laser disc a few years later. To me VHS was always considered an inferior quality item.

Great documentary, but your audio is very low.
Nice 👍 job
75 Likes Is Here!
Meh... LaserDisc is a way better format anyway
