IBM led an effort to unite the various companies behind a single standard, anticipating a repeat ofthe costly format war between VHS and Betamax in the 1980s. The result was the DVDformat, announced in September of 1995. The official DVD specification was released inVersion 1.0 in September, 1996. It ismaintained by the DVD Forum, formerly the DVD Consortium, consisting of the tenfounding companies and over 220 additional members. The first DVD players and discs were available in November of 1996 in Japan and in March of 1997 in the UnitedStates.

VHS officially standsfor Video Home System, but it initially stood for Vertical Helical Scan, after the relative head/tape scan technique. Some early reports claim the name originally stood for Victor Helical Scan system. VHS became a standard format for consumer recording and viewing in the 1980s aftercompeting in a fierce format war with Sony 's Betamax and, to a lesser extent, Philips ' Video 2000. VHS initially offered a longer playing timethan the Betamax system, and it also had the advantage of a far less complex tape transport mechanism. A VHS machine can rewindand fast forward the tape considerably faster than a Betamax VCR since it unthreads the tape from the playback heads beforecommencing any high-speed winding. On the other hand, Betamax offers superior picture quality. See VCR for more details. A VHS cassette contains a 12.65 mm (approx ½- inch ) wide magnetic tape wound between two spools, allowing it to be slowly passed over the various playback andrecording heads of the video cassette recorder. VHStapes have approximately 3 MHz of bandwidth,and a horizontal resolution of about 240 lines per scanline [1]  ( http: www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_6_3/essay-video-resolution-july-99.html ).
