What is VH?
An ancient video format from the distant past. It is believed by many archeologists and scientists that a box shaped object with film-like material inside was inserted into a odd device that was hooked up to a TV so you could watch movies. Fossils of VHS "tapes" have been radiocarbon dated 1980-1995.

VH - what is it?
A rather crude and low quality tape-based video recording format from the 70s, which remained popular 'till the 90s, mainly because it was the lowest common denominator (practically everybody back then had a VHS machine).
VHS can capture only a portion of the detail the TV signal offers (less than 50%), even in "standard play" mode. Original VHS recorders could only record low quality mono sound, but later-day VHS recorders could also record Hi-Fi stereo. The biggest disadvantages of VHS were it's low quality blurry picture, and the fact the tapes lost even more detail when stored, played or copied. So, once you wrote something on VHS, it was guaranteed to become progressively worse in terms of quality over time.
A close cousin of VHS is S-VHS, an upgraded version which captures most of the detail the TV signal offers (close to 90%), but unfortunately S-VHS tapes lose detail over time too.
People like me who like to preserve their family videos and TV recordings for as long as possible hate even the mention of the name VHS (and S-VHS), as it brings back bleak memories from the 80s of their favorite videos rotting away without them being able to do something to save them (copying them resulted in loss of detail by itself and was only a temporary measure).
Better recording alternatives include DV recorders, DVD recorders, DVRs and media center PCs.
Believe it or not, there are people who still like VHS and mourn over it's loss, for reasons that contradict common logic.
-Me: Why are you treating your family videos so badly by writing them to VHS tapes?
-Other guy: I am retro dude! DVD is a conspiracy by corporations to make you buy more stuff.
-Me: Let me guess, you also drive a carriage to work instead of a car, because cars are a conspiracy to make you buy more stuff?
What does "VH" mean?
A nostalgic way to record media back in the 70s-90s with a tape that you could either record on, or buy pre recorded. Pretty nice other than 2 things.
1. The fact that if you rented a tape that you'd spend 8 years rewinding it all the way for the next user. Luckily some had tape reminders, but most didn't and therefore you had to watch a blue screen waiting to get to the beginning.
2. For today's standards VHS tapes are quite crude, especially since so much could happen while playing and the tape would be a little more worn each time you played it, meaning it would progressively worsen in sound and visual quality. Luckily DVDs are really long lasting and are also convenient as well.
