This may be the last video production line in the world, but finally discontinued-VCR, DVD-IT information

Before the advent of DVD, VCD and digital discs, carriers of the human record video media, tape, and tape recorder (VCR, video recording and playback function). Amazing is that VCR production continues today, but this product is no longer has a future. Japan finally a video production line is about to shut down.

Although this is a Japan last factories that make the video, but most likely is last recorder production lines in the world.

According to a Nikkei report, named the production company Funai Electric, not only the production of own-brand video recorders, as well as other OEM recorders. The company has decided to close down by August recorder line.

Closed, mainly due to the shrinking market demand, and the manufacturers to purchase the necessary parts.

The company from 1985 the production of VCRs, the peak annual sales of 15 million units, but sales of last year, only 750,000.

Zhiqian, including Matsushita, Japan consumer electronics companies, has stopped the manufacturing of recorders.

Well known is that video was quickly replaced with video discs, including DVD, followed by recording more data Blu-ray discs, store the clarity of the video are also getting higher and higher. But today, online video and streaming video are rapidly eliminated discs, the vast majority of consumers won't have to buy the DVD to watch new movies, but through Web sites such as Netflix, Amazon paid to watch.

With the evolution of media carrier technology, entity audio and video stores in many countries, there have been failures.

Although the video is old technology, but it has survived to this day still come as a surprise. Video recording formats, including VHS and Sony's Betamax led to mainstream. Sony also announced only at the end of last year, starting from March 2016, stopping production and sales of Betamax video tape (Sony already in 2002, discontinued the Betamax video recorder).

According to foreign media reports, while the recorders stopped production and sales, but has a lot of stock products on the market, the other in Japan in video stores, you can still see a lot of video products, so life VHS video tapes, may be longer than the video itself.

In addition in the United States market, some consumers are also using lots of old technologies, such as dial-up Internet access, video-tape. According to a statistics, in 2012, the United States market is selling 13 million blank tapes and cassettes.

这可能是全球最后一条录像机产线，然而终于要停产 - 录像机,DVD - IT资讯

在DVD、VCD等数字光盘出现之前，人类记录视频媒体的载体，是录像带和磁带式录像机（VCR，具有录像和放像功能）。令人不可思议的是，录像机的生产一直延续到了今天，但这种产品不再有未来。日本最后一条录像机生产线即将停产。

这虽然是日本最后一家生产录像机的工厂，但极有可能是全世界最后一条录像机生产线。

据日经新闻报道，这家生产企业名叫Funai Electric，不仅生产自有品牌的录像机，也为其他的公司代工录像机。该公司已经决定在八月之前关闭录像机生产线。

之所以关闭，主要原因是市场需求萎缩，以及厂家难以购买到必要的零部件。

该公司从1985年开始生产录像机，颠峰时期每年销售1500万台，但是去年的销量，只有75万台。

之前，包括松下在内的日本消费电子企业，已经停止了录像机的制造。

众所周知的是，录像带很快被包括DVD在内的视频光盘所取代，随后出现了记录数据量更大的蓝光光碟，所存储视频的清晰度也越来越高。不过时至今日，网络视频和视频流媒体正在快速淘汰影碟，绝大多数的消费者，不会再去购买DVD来观看新电影，而是通过Netflix、亚马逊等网站付费观看。

伴随着媒体载体技术的演变，许多国家的实体音像零售店，出现了破产倒闭的现象。

虽然录像带已经是古老的技术，但是其一直存活到今天仍然令人感到意外。录像带的基本记录格式包括主流的VHS以及索尼主导的Betamax。而索尼也只是在去年底才宣布，从2016年三月开始，停止生产销售Betamax录像带（索尼早已在2002年就停产了Betamax录像机）。

据外媒报道，虽然录像机停止生产销售，但是目前市面上已经存在大量存量产品，另外在日本的音像店中，仍然可以看到许多的录像带制品，因此VHS录像带的寿命，可能会长于录像机本身。

此外在美国市场，一部分消费者也在使用许多古老的技术，比如拨号上网、录像带磁带。根据一家机构的统计，2012年，美国市场还销售出了1300万个空白录像带和磁带。
