Audiotek's Partial SVHS Videography

First revision (17th July 2003)

Summary of high band videocassettes bearing Audiotek codes

Archer's SVHS collection is largely a fluid mass of magnetic media allowing better advantage of programme technical quality to be taken as digital "free-to-air" began transmitting in Australia in 2001. SVHS was a stopgap replacement to VHS until recordable DVD format entered consumer pricing territory. SVHS was also used as the master format for original productions by the Archer until 2003.

As tapes in the SVHS and VHS collections reach the end of their usable life, and no transfer is offered on manufactured DVD, a transfer to recordable DVD format is likely. The tapes will then likely be binned (unless, as for SVHS, reuse as a DVHS medium is viable.)
