About VHS
The VHS format continues to be the rental choice of consumers by a margin of almost three-to-one and will continue to co-exist with DVD in North American households for years to come. Currently, 93% of households already have at least one VHS recorder and some 60% have two or more VCRs. Clearly, VHS is still the medium of choice to convey an incredible range and volume of messages.

World Standards
There are three television broadcast standards in the world: NTSC, PAL and SECAM. NTSC was developed in the USA by the National Television Standards Committee, PAL (Phase Alternating Line) was developed in the UK and Germany and SECAM (Systèm Électronique pour Couleur Avec Mémoire) was developed in France. Since most modern TVs in SECAM countries can also read PAL signals, we only duplicate videos in NTSC and PAL formats.
On the Lighter side, television broadcast engineers often refer to the three formats as Never Twice the Same Color, Something Essentially Contrary to the American Method, and Pictures At Last.
