TDK manufactures excellent eight hour blank VHS tapes for all purpose general recording of audio-visual media. One reviewer correctly notes that "revue quality" really means standard quality; but these do a really good job nonetheless. 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 up to a total of eight hours worth of blank recording space; and this is useful when recording longer television shows, for example. You get up to eight hours of recording time if you choose the longest recording time option on your VHS recorder/player.

Of course, the best image quality will be at shorter recording times but many people say they're satisfied with the image they get using the eight hour recording time speed.

TDK blank VCR tapes ensure that you get long life out of these blank tapes. Things should look "sharp" and in focus, too.

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 and I cannot think of any major complaints. I highly recommend TDK eight hour VHS tapes for you to use when you need to record something onto a VHS cassette tape.

It is good to have videotapes on hand when you need to tape something to bring somewhere or if the tivo is full! Also, if you try out for game shows, they often ask for a vhs tape. This is a good bargain and as technology advances, great to have on hand as they are harder and harder to find. This product works well and fill the bill.

tdk has always made the best 8-hour tapes, whether they're standard grade or hi-fi there is no difference. First off, only one local drug store in my area sells tdk tapes and upon going there avaliable were tapes marked REVUE: Premium Quality and VIVID: Ultimate Quality. I picked REVUE thinking that Premium is better than Ultimate. Then I read in another Amazon review that REVUE was Standard Grade and VIVID was High Grade only to find out that that didn't matter. Quality: excellent, on my Magnavox 13" TV/VCR combo these are the only tapes on EP speed that do not have a hissing noise accompanied with a popping sound (in fact this past Sunday I recorded Men of Honor and accually had to turn the sound down on my tv). On another REVUE tape I have 8 hours and 10 minutes (obviously they have extra tape) of those ESPN super bowl presentations. They have been watched at least 15 times with no quality reduction. Even though TDK has lowered their standards I think that the new tapes in the red box that say "Standard Grade: Superior Quality" are the same as these old REVUE tapes. Again the best blank tapes that proves that VHS will outlive us all.
