Actually, in the only criteria that counted, VHS was infinitely superior
to Beta: You could record a whole 2 hour movie on VHS and watch it
later. You couldn't do that at all on Beta. The choice was a no-brainer
for anyone who wanted to use a VCR the exact same way everyone uses
TiVo today. It didn't take me any time at all to reject Beta when
buying my first VCR :-). The myth of superior Beta is propagated by
the 0.001% of people who wanted to use it to make videos
as opposed to just recording off TV. By the time Beta offered options
to record more than 90 minutes, it was already dead.
