Talk:D-VHS

DBS receiver with digital VHS recorder

I've heard there was a DBS satellite TV receiver with a built in digital recorder that used VHS tape but a proprietary format incompatible with D-VHS and D-Theater.

There is a Dish satellite receiver with built-in D-VHS recorder. It records a straight 720x480 image direct from the feed (STD speed). It's the old-style Data-VHS rather than the upgraded Digital-VHS with high definition capability, and it does not support HS, LS3, or other speeds. ---- Theaveng (talk) 17:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Recording encrypted video

With the release of component HD recorders (i.e. Hauppage HD-PVR), can we really say that D=VHS is the best way to archive encrypted video?

A component recorder records UNencrypted video, so does not contradict that claim. Jeh (talk) 19:29, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

D-Theater Region

According to the article, "There has never been a D-Theater video release in region 2 or 3." However, the film One from the Heart is listed as Region 1/2/3 on the back cover. --Evmore (talk) 21:38, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

first D-Theater film release

• What was the first theatrical film to be released on D-Theater format and when? Wikipedia states 2002 with no citation provided, but this article from January 2021 mentions that the first D-Theater films were scheduled to be released in Summer 2021 (not 2022), with the titles of Independence Day, U-571, X-Men, Total Recall, Terminator 2, and Basic Instinct: https://archive.thedigitalbits.com/articles/dvhs/index.html Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
• It looks like the release was delayed a year. This article from January 2002 mentions that the first D-Theater release was either Die Hard or X-Men: https://www.zdnet.com/article/movie-makers-back-d-vhs-format/. Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:19, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
• Finally found something. Looks like the first releases were on 2022-06-10, consisting of the titles "DreamWorks Home Entertainment's 'The Peacemaker,' 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's 'X-Men,' Universal Studios Home Video's 'U-571' and Artisan Home Entertainment's 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day.': https://variety.com/2002/digital/features/studios-back-d-vhs-format-1117867885/ Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Final D-VHS Tapes

On Jul. 14th, 2006. A user with the IP address of (64.40.54.166) updated the article to add information about the final D-VHS D-Theater tapes. The user states that the final D-VHS D-Theater tape (I, Robot 20th Century Fox, 2004) was shipped out to retailers in late 2004 and makes a mention of a "JVC D-VHS Store". Was there really a JVC D-VHS Store, perhaps in Japan? 174.179.66.95 (talk) 19:23, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
