So, everyone is having a slapfight of confusion over the purposes VHS had.
For movies, people were ready as hell when DVD gained ground to change format. DVD has 10 years under VHS, especially when we thought Blu-Ray was going to kill DVD once and for all and when we thought streaming was going to kill it once and for all. But, DVD is going to easily outlast VHS in time. The difference being, VHS was literally ALL we had for its time and for its purpose. DVD, we fall back to because a lot of the other options, like streaming, sucks.
However, for camera and studio use, it took nearly longer, so there is a lot more reluctance.












The other downside is, is if you play VHS enough time, you’ll get degraded quality by generation. Audio sync issues, video skipping and scattering.
