Yeah, let's stick with obsolete (JPEG) formats, so no one needs to improve their loaders (very hard), and people can continue to use that funny video editor that came with some old version of Windows without converters (very evil, Irfanview does not have the same meme potential as WinRAR).

betacam was better than vhs, and was used in the broadcasting industry. It was better than vhs.

Betamax, which is the one you're talking about, is not the same format, and actually equal to or slightly inferior to vhs.
