VHS Revolution

UNRELATED TO THE MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME I HAD NO IDEA IT EXISTED UNTIL I SEARCHED IT

The VHS Revolution is a fictional home video format which is an idea by Raichu's Endless Nights. The idea has been with her since around 2018, while she was in middle school. The VHS Revolution format is a mix of the VHS and the DVD. It looks more like a VHS, but there isn't tape inside, instead the data reads from a big chip inside of it, which holds as much data as a DVD does and can support menus. Its purpose is to combine the nostalgia of VHS tapes with the utility of DVDs. The 'tapes' are still called VHS Revolution tapes despite the fact there's no tape inside, it just sounds natural.

In the Random Universe, this format co exists alongside other formats.

The interface of the VHS Revolution is similar to a Nintendo Switch, it can keep a memory of which tapes you've watched. When you insert one, it will recognise the name of the tape and will ask you if you want to go straight to the movie/episode selection or if you want to see the opening, which is sort of like Disney's FastPlay but is straight to the point and you have as much time as you want to choose. VHS Revolution tapes also have a closing built in. At the end of the movie/final episode on the tape, it will ask you if you want to return to the menu or see the closing. Just like the opening, you have as much time as you want to choose your selection. If you choose the closing, after it finishes you will be taken back to the main menu. The only part that cannot be skipped is the warning screen, which will display whichever option you pick - although it will stay on screen for less time if you choose to go straight to the movie. It's a bit more convenient than Disney's FastPlay.

The first company who backed the VHS Revolution was Meteor Mash Home Video, who are the distributors of titles like Nelvana Logo Bloopers, The Adventures of Microsoft Sam, Caillou Gets Grounded for the Last Time Ever and The Barney Error Show among others. Another company that is involved with them is Sun Beach Home Video. While they are not as well known as Meteor Mash Home Video, they are still important. Their titles include the Mystery Video trilogy, The Scary Logo Collection and The Channel Shutdown Collection.

The player is compatible with both Scart and HDMI cables, so it's compatible with either kind of TV.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE TITLES ARE COMING SOON because rn I honestly don't really know what I'm doing with half of them although I have things in mind

Misc. Notes

 * Both 'VHS Revolution' and 'the VHS Revolution' are considered grammatically correct.
 * VHS Revolution refers to the format in general, VHS Revolution tapes are the tapes themselves, and the VHS Revolution Player is the player, because VCR Revolution wouldn't make sense.
 * VHS Revolution tapes can play in 1080p on a TV that is compatible with it. If a TV isn't compatible, it will play in a lower quality.
 * VHS Revolution tapes cannot be copied, as the technology for them hasn't and can't be replicated. This means warnings on VHS Revolution versions of shows and movies don't mention copying, only the DVD versions.

How many VHS Revolutions are there?

Do you mean VHS Revolution tapes? So far I thought of 8 definite releases and a few others I'm not sure of yet.

-- Raichu&#39;s Endless Nights (talk) 06:33, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, that too.

Do you think there’d be actual movies/shows and RNW movies/shows on those tapes?

-- TallAutism2006 (talk) 06:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm considering it, yes, by third party companies. I'll make a page for it.
