Fuji manufactures excellent six hour blank VHS tapes for good, quality images for all purpose general recording of audio-visual media. 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 two hour tapes have up to six hours worth of blank recording space if you record onto them in EP (extended play) mode; and this is useful when recording longer television shows such as major sporting events, for example.

In addition, you can record onto these tapes using different speeds so that the tape records two hours worth recording time, four hours worth recording time and six hours worth of recording. (You use your VCR to set the recording time of the tape.) The best image quality will be at two hours worth of recording time but many people, myself included, say they're satisfied with the image they get using the six hour recording time speed.

The tapes allow you hours upon hours of viewing enjoyment because you record onto them over and over again countless times although after some use the picture quality will eventually begin to gradually deteriorate. This is true even though these tapes are advertised as "high quality."

Unfortunately, these good blank VHS tapes still cannot produce the same quality recording reproduction as a digitalized copy would give you. This means that if, hypothetically, you were to copy a DVD-R onto another DVD-R instead of a Fuji blank VHS tape, the quality of the audio-visual media on the DVD-R copy would be sharper and clearer than the image on a Fuji VHS tape or any other brand of video tape could give you. Moreover, VHS tapes can break if not handled with care. These shortcomings frustrate me and therefore I will have to take off one star to make this a four star review. In addition, please note that even though Fuji calls these tapes "high quality," I believe that they are in actuality regular, standard blank VHS tapes. If you want a truly superior type of blank VHS tape to record onto you need to keep looking.

The tapes have small pieces of plastic on the narrow front edge of each VHS tape which you can punch out easily so that accidental recording over an existing recording is impossible. If you do wish to record over an original recording then you can merely place a small amount of regular tape over the hole. The VHS tape is now ready to record a fresh recording.

Overall, Fuji makes a great choice when you want reliable blank VHS tapes to record television shows or anything else that you wish to record with a good quality image. I have used this brand for some while now and I cannot think of any major complaints. I highly recommend Fuji six hour VHS tapes for you to use when you need to record something onto a VHS cassette tape.

I was greatly disappointed - at least half of the tapes in the pack produced very poor quality playback. I had never experienced any problems with this brand before.

One of the videos was broken and unuseable when I opened the box. (It would have been helpful if the carton was marked "Fragile.") I decided to keep all of the videos, thinking that it wouldn't be possible to return just one, and I needed the blank videos right away. Considering the fairly-low price, it was still a pretty good deal.

After some confusion on my part, my order was shipped quickly and accurately. The tapes are in use at this very moment and are providing excellent recordings. I, like you, will never be able to understand the problem with the tapes that were so poorly recorded. I am going to stick with this brand, as they are priced fairly, and record very well on the exact same pieces of equipment I always use. Thank you for helping me with this situation. I appreciate it.
