Video cassette recorders (VCR) receive video input and capture data onto analog or digital videotape. Consumer-grade products are not included in this category. Video cassette recorders (VCR) are used to record audio and video signals from television broadcasts and can be programmed for a high-quality standard play (SP) format or a lower quality long play (LP) format. The play format selected determines the speed at which the tape is processed through the video cassette recorder. The LP format allows for more recording time on one videocassette or tape.
