There are several standard sizes of video tapes used in video recorders, the most common of which are the following two:
VHS (Video Home System): VHS is one of the most common home video tape formats, and its size is 187 103 25 mm (L, W, H). VHS video tapes are mainly used in home video recorders, VCRs, and home theater systems.
Betamax: Betamax is a slightly older home videotape format than VHS, with dimensions of 156 95 15 mm (LxWxH). It was one of the main home videotape formats in the 70s and early 80s of the 20th century, but was gradually replaced by VHS.
Compared to the tapes used by tape recorders, video tapes used by video recorders are typically larger, thicker, and differ in form and size. Audio tapes used in audio recorders usually come in the following main sizes:
Compact cassette: This is one of the most common formats for home audio recordings, with dimensions of about 100 65 12 mm (L, W, D). Compact Cassette was widely used for recording and recording until the popularity of digital audio.
Reel-to-Reel Tape: This type of tape size varies depending on the size of the tape volume. Typically, they are much larger than compact cassettes and can range in size from a few inches to a foot in diameter.
In general, video tapes used by video recorders are typically larger and thicker than those used by tape recorders because video tapes require more tapes to store** data. In addition, the size and shape of the videotape depends on the specific format and manufacturing standards used.
