The latest thing in home video recording is RCA's SelectaVision, which debuted this past October. It utilizes a system called VHS (or Video Home System), that was first marketed in the United States back in August. VHS is completely incompatible with Sony's BetaMax. With the VHS format, 4 hours of recording is possible. Blank tapes may be had for just 20 dollars each.
