A time when the height of mobile audio was an 8 track mounted under your three on the tree.

    Betamax was the superior format. VHS was cheap crap.

    What about Video 2000? The audio quality was so much better that when we finally switched to a VHS player I thought there was something wrong with the cable connecting it to the TV.

    I don't think it was ever available outside of Europe, but it had some major advantages such as a completely bonkers 8 hours run time per tape, perfect still images without distortion, and the ability to reverse or fast forward without the artifacts you'd see on VHS and Betamax.
