VHS tape

VHS and SuperVHS (SVHS)
Case size: ~7 3/8' x 4 1/16" x 1"
Tape Size: 1/2 inch wide

This is a standard "video tape" to many people. These are the tapes that we rented for years at the video store before DVD came to dominate the home video market. VHS and SVHS have the same sizes and shapes; SVHS encodes video at higher resolutions and with better quality.
