Initially, VHS Tape was used to watch VHS Tape videos. But because of its big size and bad quality of the video it has been replaced by DVD. Therefore, the DVD was developed to replace the VHS Tape. The DVD is developed and invented by four companies (Philips, Sony, Toshiba and Panasonic). In 1997, DVD disassembled the CD through Entertainment and Data Storage and replaced it.
