Severe infestaton is difficult to treat. Early diagnosis might be remedied by VHS TAPE cleaners on the market. One is by Kinko--- check auction sites--these are not VHS HEAD cleaners so be aware when shopping. My best result has been pre-emtive cleaning to remove the nutrient film required for fungal growth. Let us hope the organism does not mutate to digest the mylar or oxide!!!
A con of a VHS tape is that it is big and takes up a lot of room to store. A pro of a VHS tape is that the tape is protected by a cover.
Use 2 VCR's then push record then stop if its done RIP VHS tape 1976-2009
Video Home System, better known as VHS, is a video tape recording standard developed during the 1970s.
If the tape will fit into a camcorder, there is no reason why a copyright tape won't play. Many VHS camcorders use small cassette bodies and a standard commercial VHS tape simply won't fit.

You need a 'PAL' VHS player.
No. Unlike digital media, once a VHS tape is erased, it's gone for good.
The price for a blank VHS tape varies by the brand and the length of the tape. As of June 2014 the cheapest price located is 2.50 plus tax.
A VHS tape when properly stored, can last up to 10-25 years.
Super VHS was an 'improved' version of VHS. The picture was much better. But, while you could play a VHS on a Super machine, you could NOT play a Super tape on a regular VHS machine. It never matched the mainstream success of regular VHS. ************ Most standard VHS VCR's made since 1995 can *play* S-VHS tapes but the resolution is reduced to that of standard VHS. It's called SQPB for Super-VHS Quasi-Playback. S-VHS VCRs have the S-VHS logo and a mini DIN 4 video output port and one for input. AFAIK all S-VHS VCRs also support linear stereo and Hi-Fi stereo recording and playback. Playing a standard VHS tape on an S-VHS VCR, using the S-Video out, will get you the best possible playback quality from the standard tape, but it will still be less than S-VHS.
