The VHS format was phased out this year, being completely replaced by DVD for home release of media. While DVD has taken on the function of distribution of films and television, it has not replaced another major function of VHS: home recording. The most popular home recording device in the DVD age is the digital video recorder (DVR), which convert the recorded media to a computer file. The physical existence of home recordings and the ability to preserve the recording independent of the recording device is also being phased out. We open Red Dot Rental, the world’s first video rental store to offer only films recorded on VCRs connected to cable television, to honor both the age of VHS home recording and one anonymous man’s dedication to its preservation.
