VHS Tapes VHS stands for Video Home System. They were made by the JVC company in the 1970’s. These were used long before DVDs and movies that you can rent online. You had to insert the tape into a VCR player. After watching your movie, you had to rewind it to watch it again. They could also be used to record shows or movies that were broadcasted on television. Some people still own VHS tapes of family video recordings. Ask your grandparents if they still have any!
