    That’s a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn’t record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant

      Also licensing out the VHS format to 3rd party manufacturers also played a not insignificant role in beating Betamax. More conpanies making more VHS machines won a lot of the battle.

      So it’s twice as difficult to hide your porn on betamax then VHS?
