Reminds me of people who used VHS to make backups.
What's the significance of VHS tapes?
You never had your VCR eat a VHS tape? Definitely happened to me a few times. And the whole having to rewind thing was kind of annoying too. I'd take a DVD over a VHS any day, even if the picture quality was the same.
The classical Betamax vs VHS question?
they were showing video cassettes?
You mean like Betamax vs. VHS? ;)
Perhaps an early vhs vs betamax episode.
Why would you imagine it is VHS and not hard drive?
A solid point. This reminds me the old days when I carefully programmed my VHS video to record Blade Runner from a public broadcast on TV. How happy I was. "Now I will be able to watch Blade Runner whenever I want!" I even remember having purchased a more expensive VHS tape just for that, I didnt want to have no image quality issues in the future.
Or a VCR that plays BETAMAX? (maybe a better analogy)
