VCC or Video-2000 was released in 1979, and was Philips' second home video cassette recorder format, the first being "VCR" in 1972. VCC was technologically more advanced than either VHS or Beta, but still couldn't displace the Japanese formats that already had large market penetration.
I have a VR 2323 and it still works perfectly. It's made in Germany at a time when things were built to last. I am not quite sure a DVD player made in China in 2010 will last 30 years. My V2000 IS 30 y/o.
I wouldn't bet my life on one lasting 30 months (and that's not a joke either). Then again, that generic no-name DVD player probably cost less than a *thirtieth* (!!!) of the cost of the VCR in real terms, and that's what people forget when they complain about them not building stuff like they used to! Don't believe me? Typical bottom-of-the-range DVD player circa 2010 was around £20. I've just seen a scan of a Dixons' catalogue circa 1982 advertising a "Saisho" (i.e. own-brand) video recorder for £430. Multiplying by 2.8x for inflation (1982 to 2010), that's £1204 in 2010 money. If that's correct, it's more like a *sixtieth*.
@@CMatomic and youtube censor things 😂 Imagine one streaming service that has everything! Then we are talking! But this not even today any reality if we are talking legal ways... In music we almost have this. But now google for example destroys its music service. This old I could download music that I buy but soon that also gone. So maybe better to go oldschool with Vinyl or CD!
The late-70s analogue synth sound of that music is incredibly reminiscent of Vangelis, isn't it? Possibly with Giorgio Moroder or Kraftwerk in the final section... Also, 0:33 . Remember when television screens used to be round? :-)
@@nikolaykrotov8673 I'm almost certain that it isn't Jarre. I grew up listening to his stuff, and this just doesn't feel at all like his work- neither melodically nor production-wise.
Advertising made back in the day when showing how it was made was more important than what the product could do. If only people these days knew what was under the cover, they might have a better appreciation of how the thing works.
Sounds like the same narrator from Protect & Survive. If nuclear war comes, you can videorecord it. But I guess what viewers really wanted was Starsky & Hutch and some old western.
I have some PAL Video 2000 Prerecords coming, although I'm in the U.S. Cool format to collect. Wikipedia says that the format supported PAL and NTSC, although I have no proof of this. None of the markets Video 2000 was marketed in supported NTSC. STAY AWESOME! :)
Phillips' developments on VCC were along the path of not analogue FM, but true digital audio - the foundations of Compact Disc. But VCC didn't get the market support to justify continued development. Had they stuck with it, we might have had home digital audio recorders years before DAT or DCC.

1984 is not (just) a book! PLUS. Never follow a rabbit hole on yourself, @ least use a cord & a winch. OFF some kind. OR ON the other side SWITCHED a gain ;0)
No, Video 2000 came out *after* Beta and VHS. You're confusing it with Philips' earlier format ("Video Cassette Recording" or "VCR") that came out in 1972. Oddly, they apparently used the old VCR logo (seen here) when marketing Video 2000, even though it was entirely incompatible with the older format.
Sadly... almost certainly, yes, it was! (^_^) And it probably *did* sound futuristic when the year 2000 was still over twenty years into the future.. :-O
Beĺlo ma con tanti difetti.. lo presi nel 1982 . La Philips lo sostitui 2 volte in garanzia. Ficordo la prima cassetta Basf 8vore che acquistai.. 38 mila lire
