Lost Technologies: Betamax Tapes

The Forgotten Format of Tomorrow

In a world where VHS had its heyday, there existed a more elusive and enigmatic format: the Betamax. A 8mm tape format from the 1980s, it was meant to revolutionize home entertainment. But like all things, it fell to the wayside. Yet, we hold on to its legacy.

Some prophets claim it will return. That one day, we'll see a resurgence of the Betamax, with its 4:3 aspect ratio and 8mm width.

Others say, 'No, it's a relic of the past.' But we say, 'Hold on, it's not dead yet!'
