JVC discontinues standalone VHS decks, though DVD/VCR combos survive.

The VCR quietly passed away this month as JVC stopped making standalone VHS decks. There are still some VCRs in the pipeline—and VHS will survive in DVD/VCR combos. But the era of the VCR has drawn to a close.

VHS goes the way of the dodo (finally)

Anyone out there still holding their breath and hoping that VHS might make a comeback? It's time to exhale. Japanese electronics maker JVC said this week that it was going to stop making VCRs and that it would stop selling them once inventory ran out. The first company to start making stand-alone VCRs, in 1976, JVC was also the last to stop making them. I guess that selling all those videocassettes you were hoarding isn't going to get you through the recession now.

Convert VHS to DVD

Consumer digital video has been with us, in one form or another, for more than a decade. If you still own a VHS VCR, it’s more likely to be gathering dust in the attic than sitting on the shelf underneath your TV.

Gadget of the week: Ion VCR 2 PC conversion system

I rather miss those big, clunky VHS cassettes of old. OK, so the sound quality was usually dreadful and the picture often warped in all sorts of retina-bending ways, but at least it did have character - DVDs and Blu-Ray discs seem rather sterile by comparison.

Do-it-yourself DVDs

Music has leapt from the CD to the MP3, from the living room to the iPod. Video has done likewise, swapping grainy and snag-ridden VHS tapes for DVD discs and internet downloads.

New Panasonic Blu-Ray Players Soon to Be Released

The world of audio and video technology is a battlefield and Blu-ray disc players have come along and knocked off the competition, in much the same way VHS took out BETA and CDs overthrew cassettes who had previously usurped eight tracks.

Turn the Channel to iPod Nano TV

Like the Nanoscope hack before it, the iPod Nano TV magnifies the screen of your iPod while built-in speakers amplify the sound—making it seem as though you are watching a tiny, retro television. It even has a VHS combo style to complete the effect. It seems kind of pointless if you ask me, but it might be a great way to introduce 21st century technology to Grandma without shocking her system. The mini-magnifying TV works with any third generation Nano and will be available for soon for about $23. [Thumbs Up UK via GeekAlerts]

Anything Under That Rock on Mars? Phoenix to Take a Peek

Ever wondered what might crawl out from under a rock on Mars? The Phoenix lander is going to attempt to find out today by trying to nudge a rock aside today with its robotic arm to see what might be underneath. Engineers have developed a plan to try moving a rock on the north side of the lander. This rock, roughly the size and shape of a VHS videotape, is called "Headless." Even though the Phoenix mission has been extended for a second time – the mission is now on through December, the team feels like it's time to pull out all the stops and do as much work as possible. "We're getting towards fall in the northern plains of Mars and our sun is dropping lower day by day," said mission principal investigator Peter Smith on NPR's Science Friday.

Mystery Science Theater Turns 20

RimmerExperience writes "Hard to believe that Mystery Science Theater 3000 is 20 years old. This NY Times article provides a brief synopsis from the humble but inspired beginnings in a Midwest TV studio, to the making of MST3K: The Movie, to what the creators are up to today. It's interesting that the original creators are still involved in MST3K-style riffing in some way. So if you are looking for your traditional Turkey Day fix, plug in your old VHS, tune into BitTorrent or check out their current projects — Riff Trax (Mike Nelson) or Cinematic Titanic (Joel & Trace). Keep circulating the tapes, er, MPEGs."
