VCR
A VCR is a type of recording and playing device that supports the magnetic tape video standard. This analog device uses magnetic tape - which is wound inside video cassettes - to record video and audio from a TV source.
Although the DVD format is outpacing VCRs in terms of watching movies and rentals, VCRs still offer an inexpensive and effective way to record video. Many digital TV recorders are still quite expensive, so VCRs continue to be favored by many home movie and TV enthusiasts.
Many modern VCRs offer simple video editing options, which is another benefit over DVD technology. VHS tapes can be used to record video over and over, a feature that is still rare even for high-end DVD players. Today's VCRs are engineered to produce crisp, high-quality video and audio. Some VCRs even feature a DVD player built-in to the unit. To learn more about VCRs, read the articles below.
