VCR Day is observed every year on June 7. VCR day is dedicated to the humble video, and celebrates the simple elegance of analogue recording and playback. Many young people do not know what a VCR player or a VCR tape is.
The video cassette recorder is an electro-mechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from television on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette.
The first video cassette recorder was introduced in 1956. The home video cassette format (VCR) was developed in 1970. The birth of VCR mass market success boomed in the mid-1970s and continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Over 10 billion videotapes remain today with our recorded memories. These memories are keepsakes and people keep the tapes for that reason. It is important to move those memories to a more stable format to preserve them. Companies like Zoovio, Inc., provide options for both getting them converted to a DVD or stored in an online private vault online to be viewed and shared on internet connected devices including TVs.
