sorry atlas. not quite. reminds me of all the poor

sorry atlas. not quite. reminds me of all the poor dd people do. like how they buy basher-comments because of ignorance, inexperience and laziness (instead of doing proper research). ps- i won't comment on all the stupid shennanigans, ignorant claims and garbage i read on these boards re ntek. still serves me to let people bash their own investment - not sure why people do (but hey, not my prob) but i will comment on this matter since it reminds me of weak ntek dd that gets misrepresented

beta was ahead of its time. a superior format that is still used in film/satellite industry

jvc
"open source"
had fewer restrictions than sony
they allowed pornography (beta didn't)
with recording cap. and approx 50% longer recording time


pornography drove massive jvc sales. pornography paved the way for mass distribution. later used by video rental stores (betamax's quality is still evident. still in use today. but jvc gave the people more freedom. more value. apparently the people wanted porn. porn use led to innovations that would drive the home video business with jvc as the format. end of story)

had nothing to do with sony technology. betamax is superior in quality and pro's still use it. jvc gave the consumers what they wanted. simple


sorry to disagree. don't see massive beta testing as any reason for pessimism. and it ain't why beta lost the commercial war to jvc as noted
