VHS Movies

VHS (Video Home System) history is a story of technological competition, consumer choice, and changing entertainment habits, starting with its 1976 launch by JVC in Japan, winning the format war against Sony's Betamax due to longer recording times, lower costs, and broader industry backing, leading to the rise of video stores like Blockbuster in the 80s, and eventually declining with the advent of DVDs in the late 90s, with the last major movie release in 2006.
