A digital memory system that uses D-VHS tapes. D-VHS was developed as a memory system for multimedia applications that require storage for large volumes of information such as digital video. (D-VHS recordings are possible only with cassettes marked "D-VHS").
Stands for "Digital VHS." When connected to a compatible HDTV tuner, a D-VHS VCR can record HDTV programs in full resolution, along with their accompanying multichannel soundtracks. D-VHS currently offers the highest resolution recording and playback of any consumer video format.
digital video-recording format that uses a conventional VHS tape shell. D-VHS can store up to four hours of high-definition video on one tape.
Is a digital version of VHS that is more like a digital tape backup using a VHS tape form factor.
DVHS is a digital recording and playback format for High Definition material. It's based on the existing 1/2" VHS-sized cassettes.

Stands for Digital VHS. D-VHS recorders can record a 'bit stream' from an IEEE1394 port. Current D-VHS VCRs record and playback analogue video, which is compressed using MPEG2.
Digital VHS. Developed by JVC. D-VHS is a recordable digital VHS cassette that can record streaming digital broadcasts as well as conventional analog broadcasts. Selecting different data rates to record will determine the quality of the recording as well as the number of hours that can be recorded onto a D-VHS cassette (much like recording speed determines the quality of the recording and number of hours that can be recorded). A D-VHS can hold more data than a DVD and is supposed to have twice the resolution. D-VHS recorders use an IEEE interface (known in the computing world as "Firewire") and are fully backwards compatible with other existing VHS formats (ie.: Super VHS and VHS).
D-VHS is a digital video format developed by JVC, in collaboration with Hitachi, Matsushita and Philips. The "D" in D-VHS is for Data, not Digital. It uses the same physical cassette format and recording mechanism as S-VHS, and is capable of recording and displaying both standard definition and high definition content.
