Meinst Du Betamax oder Video2000? 😁
Betamax hatte die bessere Bildqualität, aber auf eine 2000er Kassette hat man bis zu 8h draufbekommen. 😃

Betamax vs. VHS: Sony’s one-hour starting point became an expensive moving target
Museum records and Sony’s history show why cassette format, deck generation and recording mode belong in the same comparison.

True story (altho I'll admit I'm not sure how it works in more recent times):
In the early 90s on a submarine, the Navy got us first-run films to watch underway, often right after they had left theaters/were not available yet on VHS.
So we got them on Betamax tapes and had Betamax players in

Grandad - Clive Dunn - BBC1, 18.1.84
Found on an old Betamax tape, Clive Dunn's sitcom for kids. It seemed funny when we were, er, kids.
