History (Taken from Wikipedia):

"CVC:

Compact Video Cassette (CVC) was one of the first analog recording videocassette formats to use a tape smaller than its earlier predecessors of VHS and Betamax, and was developed by Funai Electronics of Japan for portable use. The CVC format used a cassette slightly larger than an audio cassette (approximately 105x66x13mm) and was loaded with 6.5mm magnetic tape.

Unlike most other video cassette formats that have two spools of fixed diameter, the cassette was smaller as the space vacated by one spool was used as the other spool filled up, similar to a standard audio cassette.

The initial V30 tapes ran for 30 minutes, then later V45 (45 minute) and V60 (60 minute) models were introduced.

The format was released for NTSC, PAL and SECAM television systems (with cassettes labelled "VExx") and, like most analogue systems, tapes had to be played on machines using the same TV system as the recording..."
