Re: Can we finally settle this?
"...in contrast to today when everyone seems to push for higher quality standards."
Yes, but back when Betamax and VHS were fighting each other the final visual output, at least in the domestic market, was crap. It was even more crap for NTSC (Never Twice the Same Colour). No matter how much Betamax was technically superior the result was much the same on a plain old domestic, built down to a price, CRT TV (usually very badly set up to boot).
