Recording onto video tape was first pioneered back in 1953, but did not appear in actual service until 1956. Over the years since, dozens of tape formats, that is the method of putting the information on the tape, have come and gone.
Below I have covered the must common of the formats that have been in use. There are actually more formats out there. But those are either experimental or proprietary and not available for general use.

Ever pulled an old VHS tape from the closet after several years of being in the archive? Only to play and hear a warble sound in the audio tracks or the VCR having trouble with the tracking? Well, here are five tips for storing videotapes and preserving your precious footage. These tips are not just for the casual home video fan, but for the professional as well.
If you are like most camcorder users, you point your camcorder at all sorts of interesting, exciting and important things. Your tape archive may include historical records of once-in-a-lifetime events like weddings, graduations and family reunions. You may have a tape of that dream vacation to the islands or your European trip to investigate your family's history. It may be that time the pastor tripped and fell down the steps in front of the pulpit (If you plan on using that footage for an outakes reel, you did not hear it from me!), or interviews with missionaries that have long since past away. Clearly, the moments and events that you've captured on tape are of great value to you.

 Midas Verona Each part of the church body is important. Some parts are highly visible, such as the worship team, greeters and ushers, or home group leaders.
Then there are the less obvious, but equally important, parts. The Tech Team works behind the scenes, making it possible for the entire congregation to see and hear what is being presented. The Tech Team consists of several areas: audio, video, lighting and stage.

I have been around electronics, mainly computers and sound systems, for many years. I have seen all manner of destruction to these systems: speaker clusters that have broken loose from the rafters and crashed to the ground, amplifiers that blew out a power supply, critters living in the warm spaces of amp racks, etc. And all manor of other common problems and mishaps with A/V equipment. But nothing compares to the destruction that Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma has wrought upon the local church.
