=== V-Lite ===
In the late 1990s, there was a disposable promotional variation of the VHS format called V-Lite. It was a cassette constructed largely with polystyrene, with only the rotating components like the tape reels being of hard plastic with glued casings without standard features like a protective cover for the exposed tape. Its purpose was to be as lightweight as possible for minimized mass delivery costs for the purpose of a media company's promotional campaign and intended for only a few viewings with a runtime of typically 2 to 3 minutes. One such production so promoted was the [[A&E Network]]'s 2000 adaptation of ''[[The Great Gatsby (2000 film)|The Great Gatsby]]''. The format arose concurrently and then rendered obsolete, with the rise of the [[DVD]] video format which eventually supplanted VHS, being lighter and less expensive still to mass-distribute, while [[video streaming]] would later supplant the use of physical media for video promotion.<ref>{{cite web |title=V-Lite: Disposable Lightweight VHS tape |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHnYVeaTLsY |website=Techmoan | date=18 February 2023 |publisher=YouTube |access-date=18 February 2023}}</ref>
