Name of that 70´s futuristic music?? It remembers me from "PERSPECTIVE" from the BBC.

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 just got a shiver down my spine. Perhaps it's because of that narrator from 'Protect and Survive'.

I am the lucky owner of 2 V2000 video recorders: a VR2023 and a VR 2333, each of them working perfectly, in spite of being 25 y/o.

Great👍 VCR philips.

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*.

This video was probably in 1979

Probably a cheap commission for "futuristic electronic music", there was much better stuff 10 years earlier...

These were great , you could record on both sides of the cassette , one day every home will have 2000 :-)

LOL, this is fun.. A good system though, that lost the marketing battle..

ah this is where the intro of Short Circuit (Johnny Five) comes from.

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.

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? :-)

Use your VHS vcr videorecorders and blank VHS tapes to get even with the news media and tell your friends to just use their vcr videorecorders !

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! :)

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.

@telocho

They reused the logo, but with an upside down reflection, indicating the reversability of the cassette. Video2000 is actually better known as VCC.

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.
