路Betamax was better quality , but VHS was more popular for some reason.
Three companies compited to establish market domination. The company that developed VHS (I guess it was Panasonic) offered licences to anyone who wanted to develop a VCR using their technology. The other two companies, Sony (=Betamax) and Philips (=Video 2000) kept their technology for themselves. Very fast VHS had a huge critical mass and became the industry standard, eliminating the other two technologies.

It was actually the Victor Company that developed VHS which owned or part of JVC and licensed it and by that time Philips were in third place... Yes Betamax was technically better, I used to sell them all back in the day... The Sony C7 and the excellent C9.... Happy days!!
