its really off putting that you sound like you are trying to talk loudly, but do it really quietly. dont be afraid of screaming man.

This is the most helpful video I've seen this week. I have been meaning to search up how VHS tapes transmit their audio to the VHS player. All the while forgetting that the video must also be transmitted in the same way since, contrary to my previous mental image, that VHS tape's are like film with the individual frames (they're not).

The theatrics were a bit over-the-top, but I really learned some cool things today. You had great attention to detail in each clip. I would also second another person's comment that you should scream louder as my hearing aid fell out months ago and I can't find it in this house. I really hope you keep honing your craft.

its so cool how its short but summarizes everything. this man should have more recognition. thanks for the video!

I still watch VHS only as a emergency entertainment system when my modern system is on the fritz. Thank God I didn't throw it away.

Im sitting here trying to understand how VHS tapes had any corelation with magnets and I had trouble understanding until the Youtube algorithm decided to help. I am deeply greateful.

I was born at the extinction period of the vhs and prefer it over disk cause they dont get damaged as easily

[pepsiatlas]

harsh comments. its wasn't a tech brief. it was a short little explanation of how a magnetic cassette works in a CHS. i though it was pretty well made an concise. if a little over the top =P

How are the signals encoded on the tape?

How do they determine the maximum occupancy of a room?

Hey nice channel. I found it because I was searching " how VCRs work " So I think you should talk about topics that people are interesting in. Like "Why are the roads in Mexico very bad and in the US are not that bad?" I went overthere and mann filled with holes why do they have so many bad roads

Its a VCR that u put it in.

The cassette is a VHS MAMON

Remember when you could throw vhs tapes and game cartridges and they would still play? WTH, eff optical discs!

[supafun]

A bit literal. Maybe give us an answer for dummies. We are learning through YouTube after all.

[lovefunbeer]

This just leads to more questions ⁉️ I believe it's literally magic but we're too stupid to accept it. You're telling me all that can be stored in a piece of tape? Nope. Simulation theory my Guy.

Even a 6 year old would fine this anoying
