Sound is encoded along the edges of the tape via a magnetic data format. As the tape plays, a tape head reader scans the magnetic edge as the tape runs, which is converted into an analog signal that runs to your speaker and is output as sound.
discs use lasers and are digital so I can maybe see that but its still a mystery. VCRs are just pure mechanical stuff going on so I can't see how you'd get perfect audio lined up with the scenes.
The VCR head has a smaller device to read the edge of the tape like a cassete player. The difference in the negative tape space and positive (recording) space create different voltages that corelate with frequencies of sound (20hz-20khz).
Reminder that the best animes ever created all came out exclusively on VHS during the 80s and 90s.
It was higher quality than TV shows because it had higher production budgets, and it didn't have to conform to television broadcast standards.
Awful. Nothing falls flatter than bloopers from a comedy. It's comedy, which means if things go well, it's funny; if someone screws up, it's failed and is thus not comedy, nor funny.
I found a new in box vcr on ebay, and just popped in my copy of a new hope from 1992, before george ruined them.
It works flawlessly and its been sitting in my moms tv cabinet this whole time.
Makes me think of my uncle who used to put vhs tapes in the freezer thinking it was needed to make them last.
I can't even verbalize the absolute disdain I have for modern culture and the current state of my life and how badly I just want to relive 1997 through 2007 in perpetuity until the sun engulfs this miserable planet.
same but 93-03, i reject all things modern and try to live my life like it was those years as much as possible, the only exception being using the internet but even thats mostly just as a time machine into the past finding old tv shows, movies, music, commercials, photos, and other media, etc etc from my childhood
Data is stored on the tape
How do they store a Star Trek character on a tape?
magnets
Magnets is how they delete data
Behold. Kino in its purest, truest form.
tachyons
doesn't answer my question.
There's a little person (midget) in the tape that makes the sounds as it plays
The data is under the sauce.
The same way sound come out of your mom when I put my disk inside her
you can see the speakers right there.
stop posting shit from the 90s you fricking Black folk
stop reminding me of the hell hole called 2024
>welcome to the year 2024 goy. Enjoy your stay
It's going to get much worse.
the data of the magnetic tape transfers to the audio video output of your VCR

What is signal?
An electric waveform carried along copper wire
>waveform
?
Go to the beach anon, you'll get the idea
you know retro wave music? it's like that but in good form
Yeah it's just [meaningless made up words that sound smart] goy, trust almighty Science
Kek another zoomer who thinks we watched 'movies' or some kind of media off of these, instead of how we really used them.
we can never go back
My father's old VCR finally gave out last year. Are there people who can still repair these things? I don't want a new one.
As with anything older, depends on how much money you want to pay. At some price point, there's someone who is willing and able to do it.
Same way sound comes out of plastic discs.

Pretty sure the sound came out of the TV, not the tape.
keep posting shit from the 80s you hecking shwoogies
keep reminding me of the heck hole called 2024
The best VHS I have.
Kinoooo
I wonder if they're still going ahead with the remake
Reminder that the best animes ever created all came out exclusively on VHS during the 80s and 90s.

Nice
best one I have is 28 Days Later, the tape is blue for some reason

Wrong.
It's device used to make a masterclass in masterpiece making
No wait, this is.
You flip the tab and put your ear to one of the holes.

Death to all zoomers, every single one
Magnetic tape is passed along the VCR's supra-aural schwarzfield transmitter which creates subfrequences through the Hirschfield-Goldsten device.
