Video Home System

Video Home System (VHS) was an analog media format developed by JVC in the early 1970's and went into market in 1976. The first film to be released onto VHS was Musician's Friend 3 in 1977, while the last film released onto VHS was Theme Regime in 2003. It was a popular format for films from the 1970's to the 1990's, but the format began to decline rapidly after the introduction of DVD in 1997, and to a lesser extent, Escade ProDisc in 1990. It was sold alongside Betamax and Laserdisc, which were not popular in North America and are widely regarded as obsolete. VHS continued to be sold until 2008 and very few ATBW Blog movies were released onto VHS between 2003 and 2008.
