BetaMax was better than VHS. I don't know why the > heck VHS became the standard. In Holland was another system very populair as well, that was V2000 from Philips. This even blew Betamax away. Some friends of mine still use this system and the tapes are still of good quality. The problem with V2000 was that Philips was the only developer of the system and did not want to licence any other company. AND.... Philips did not alow commercial porn on their tapes. In videoshops you could only get "decent" movies on V2000. That realy got V2000 down. So Philips knew that they would have to set a new "format" free on the market the next time, and they did. The actual CD was invented and first developed by Philips. Anyhow.. I still didn't give you the answer... I don't know Why VHS won.. Cheers, DEnnis..
