Note that the technical superiority of one format over the other has no bearing on this discussion. Betamax was provably superior to VHS at the time.

So. Based on what we know about why VHS eventually triumphed over Betamax, where's the smart money on the high def DVD wars?


Depends on how you measure the superiority. As I remember, the war was won on the basis of total possible recording time per cassette.

I don't remember, how did Beta compare when it was used to cram a 2hr movie onto a single cassette vs. VHS in SP?
