The Videophile was a bimonthly magazine targeted to enthusiasts and aficionados of home video taping and trading (so-dubbed videophiles) active from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. The magazine was established after the success of The Videophile's Newsletter, a newsletter oriented at enthusiasts of Sony's Betamax home video format. The Videophile's Newsletter was founded by Jim Lowe of Tallahassee, Florida, and ran from 1976 to 1978. The Videophile magazine ran from 1978 to 1983.
