There was an episode of this British TV show called the Secret Life of Machines that went over how a VCR and video recording in general worked, it was pretty cool.

These really old video recorders for broadcasting basically used gigantic reels of razor wire. They spun very fast and it was dangerous if the metal tape broke.
