VHS-C
Sign in to saveVHS-C is a compact version of the VHS videocassette format, introduced by Victor Company of Japan (JVC) in 1982, and used primarily in consumer-grade analog recording camcorders. VHS-C uses the same magnetic tape as full-size VHS cassettes and can be played in a regular VHS VCR using an adapter. An improved version named S-VHS-C was also developed. VHS-C's main competitor was Sony's Video8 format, but both were eventually displaced in the consumer market by the digital MiniDV format, which offered a smaller form factor.
