TDK manufactures excellent six hour blank VHS tapes for all purpose general recording of audio-visual media. As long as you have the right kind of equipment, these tapes record television programs off TV or they can be used to make copies of a non-copyright protected VHS tape. These tapes have six hours worth of blank recording space; and this is useful when recording television shows, for example.

In addition, you can record onto these tapes using different speeds so that the tape records two hours worth recording time, four hours worth recording time and six hours worth of recording. (You use your VCR to set this.) The best image quality will be at two hours worth of recording time but many people say they're satisfied with the image they get using the six hour recording time speed.

The tapes allow you hours upon hours of viewing enjoyment because you record onto them over and over again countless times although after some use the picture quality will eventually begin to gradually deteriorate.

Unfortunately, these tapes cannot produce the same quality recording reproduction as a digitalized copy would give you. This means that if, hypothetically, you were to copy a DVD-R onto another DVD-R instead of a TDK blank VHS tape, the quality of the audio-visual media on the DVD-R copy would be sharper and clearer than a TDK tape or any other brand of video tape could give you. Moreover, VHS tapes can break if not handled with care. These shortcomings frustrate me and therefore I will have to take off one star to make this a four star review.

The tapes have small pieces of plastic on the narrow front edge of each VHS tape which you can punch out easily so that accidental recording over an existing recording is impossible. If you do wish to record over an original recording then you can merely place a small amount of regular tape over the hole. The VHS tape is now ready to record a fresh recording.

Overall, TDK makes a great choice when you want reliable blank VHS tapes to record television shows or anything else that you wish to record. I have used this brand for many years and I cannot think of any major complaints. I highly recommend TDK premium quality six hour VHS tapes for you to use when you need to record something onto a VHS cassette tape.

i recently purchased this tape ( 12 pkg. bundle ) because i recently purchased a new dvd/vhs combo and didnt want any old tapes going into it.
i record hours upon hours of all types of programs and after viewing i
record on it again. tdk , a leader in vhs tapes and much , much more stood
the challenge i gave it. brand name , quality and price was the reason for this purchase. note: keep your tapes in vhs plastic containers , buy
a quality vhs head cleaner ( make sure if your vhs is wet or dry for
cleaning ) and these tapes will last quite awhile. i suggest not putting in old tapes of any sort because it will eventually wear out your player.
a tdk wet or dry cleaner works great. remember, u get what u pay for and
with tdk and proper care your all set. ps: if u are going to record thru
your vcr or digital camera their are higher grades by tdk and i suggest
you get those so u can view for many yrs to come. don barajas

These casseette tapes work really good. I have use them to tape on, shows a very good picture.

Ordered as I needed to have a quality VHS blank, and TDK blanks are hard to find locally. Wasn't disappointed and knew I wouldn't be as TDK is the only blank media (VHS,DVD,CD) I will use.

Purchased two of these hunting for a good quality tape that would last for repeated taping. Seems to be good quality in comparison to previously using RCA, Maxell and Magnavox brands. Unfortunately, after purchasing these, I found the same tapes in a store for a little less, but no big deal.
