VHS Stands for: Video Home System Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation  VHS is a dominant domestic videotape format. By the 1990s, VHS became a standard format for consumer recording and viewing, after competing in a fierce format war with Sony's Betamax. VHS initially offered a longer playing time than the Betamax system, and it also had the advantage of a far less complex tape transport mechanism. Early VHS machines could rewind and fast forward the tape considerably faster than a Betamax VCR since they unthreaded the tape from the playback heads before commencing any high-speed winding. As of July 2006, most major film studios have stopped releasing new movie titles in VHS format, opting for DVD-only releases.
