VHS was introduced to the world in the 1970s, but took off in the 1980s thanks to the manufacturer, JVC, sharing the technology it developed with many other manufacturers. Sonny, who owned rival VHS Betamax technology, did not licenses their technology as open, allowing VHS to multiply much faster. It has also helped WCS be cheaper for the consumer and betamax, while it is often said to be better than VHS, followed.

VHS revolutionized the film and television, creating a growing market for consumers who are hungry in the film. Classic films were now widely available for the first time, films directly to the video became something, and people could shoot their favorite shows directly from TV. Seeing the meeting has become a thing of the past. Ask every Gen-Xer, and they will happily tell you epic stories about VHS collections, discovery of classics (or flock), TV entertainment on eavesdropping events and newly discovered access to porn. Some movies are still available only on VHS.

However, starting in 1996, VHS reinforcements have been increased pretty quickly with the introduction of DVD -A. The DVDs offered a superior image and sound, taking advantage of the full advantage of CRT TVs and some of the new flat screen on the market. They were smaller, also taking less space on the shelf, and many DVDs include auxiliary materials such as making documentaries and interviews, unique to format. The age of audio comments has begun, and translations can now be included and excluded with ease. There was no reason not to supplement.

DVD stands for a digital versatile disk or digital video disk. Toshiba, Sony and Philips, some of the manufacturers of technology, initially used the latter, but switched to the more universal former when computer and video games manufacturers noticed they used DVD for functions other than video.

Since DVDs can be sent, posting video by the post has become commonplace, and Netflix has started as a business, named because You can rent stains on the net. Technology has become so ubiquitous that "DVD" has become synonymous with "film". There were scarce flaws in the format when compared to the VHS cartridges they replaced. For one, they were, as well as the CDs of which were extrapolated, something fragile, and rented DVD often came with nicos and scratches that made them united. Anyone who worked in a DVD rental store can tell you how Sony's PlayStation 2s were capable of DVD-Tending to leave radial scratches on discs, destroying them forever.

Also, with VHS cassette, you can see a strip strip, throw it out of the machine, re -insert at a later time and collect exactly where you left. DVDs were to be started at any time. Well, depending on the players. Some of the better machines had a "biography of the last" characteristic.

Putting videos on CD-sized disc was first developed in the late 1980s, and some media media outlets may even be reminiscent of VCD (video compact discs), one of the first formats coding Digital video files. DVDs are actually a mix of two video disk formats that developed simultaneously. Perhaps recalling the war between VHS and Betamax a decade earlier, computer companies with a strong armed video drive manufacturers agree on a specific technology, avoiding a format war.

Philips and Sony worked at MMCD (multimedia CD) while Toshiba, JVC and more supported SDs (for super density). In May 1995 After a very insider precise and technical final, the DVD as we know he was born. The technology has been massively produced since that November.

The sudden popularity of the DVD -that shook the world. The image quality was significantly superior to VHS, and the thin cases were made by infinite collectibles. The classic films, if the studio they had so felt were carefully processed and published with a brand new Polish that made them look better than they ever had. DVD companies Tiffany began to be grown, specializing in certain types of films; The age of the criteria collection has begun. Sets of DVD boxes have become something.

DVDs have also changed the way people consume TV. TV season of 24 episodes, if captured in high quality SP format, will require 12 VHS cartridges. The VHS cartridges were over one inch, and the storage that many cartridges for a TV season were unstable. With DVDs, the whole season on TV could be fit into a box that was just thick and a half thickness. The reduced size made for easier access, sigh in collecting, and people could now see whole shows. "24" owes its popularity to DVD -A. In the end, TV manufacturers became a stroke of consumer viewing habits and began writing TV to suit. Seasonal stories arcs have become De Rigew, despite the "Drama-on-Week" models for trade unions. DVDs changed the media.

In the end, of course, DVDs were also planted. Format war between Blu rays and HD DVD raged very short in the mid-2000s, with Blu rays manually coming to the top. Blu rays were better adapted to high definition digital TVs that went into fashion, and DVDs suddenly seemed to be a pass, despite the lower price. Until the 2010 of the last century, streaming began to rub, and ordinary purchase and storage of physical discs did not turn out.

But naked, for about a decade, we were on the neck in DVD -a.
