What is “Super VHS or S-VHS” Tape and recording?
Super VHS is a full-size format with resolution similar to that of HI-8. The S stands for super, as the resolution jumps from the VHS standard of 250 lines to around 400 lines. S-VHS is decreasing in popularity for camcorders, even though the Super VHS format holds more lines of resolution and thus better image quality. However, an S-VHS tape will not play in a normal VHS VCR. You need an S-VHS VCR to play an S-VHS tape.
